AIS Industry use case
Environmental protection
Spire Maritime AIS data can play a critical role in preserving the marine environment by identifying breaches in protected or sensitive areas
With more than 90 percent of global trade being carried by sea, the amount of industry – petrochemical, timber, cargo, fishing – traversing the world’s waters on any given day is staggering.
Although shipping is the anchor of the global economy, this intense level of vessel traffic can be a detriment to the marine environment. Spire Maritime AIS data helps organizations across the globe protect the marine environment and the fragile ecosystems contained within our oceans.
Through the use of Spire AIS data, organizations can:
Establish automated alerting of vessels entering a Marine Protected Area (MPA) or approaching navigation hazards, preventing environmental incidents
Maintain vessel historical tracks for investigative reporting purposes, helping to curb illegal fishing and detect and identify oil spills and marine pollution violations
Geo-fence environmentally sensitive areas and MPAs to analyze historical ship traffic patterns within these areas to increase violator prosecutions
