In the intricate realm of maritime insurance, particularly within high-risk zones, the need for preemptive risk assessments is paramount.

Spire Maritime enhances decision-making with its comprehensive database of historical vessel movements since 2010, real-time tracking with sub-minute updates, and forward-looking insights on routes and arrival times. Empowered by AI and ML, these tools are reshaping the future of maritime insurance and compliance strategies.

Our global weather forecasting capability allows for an in-depth risk assessment and forecasting of potential payouts. This data is crucial in a sector where weather significantly impacts claims, often related to vessel performance under specific weather conditions.

 
  • Risk assessment and underwriting: Analyze patterns of vessel behavior, weather, traffic density, historical incidents to make informed decisions when underwriting policies.
  • Managing premium pricing: Identify level of risk associated with specific routes, regions, or vessel types.
  • Claim management: Cross-reference vessel positions, behaviors and weather information with reported incidents to validate claims more accurately.
  • Delays: Anticipate potential delays due to weather conditions and port congestion.
  • Spoofing or dark vessel detection: Detect discrepancies between AIS data and other sources.
  • Catastrophe modelling and response: By integrating AIS data with other relevant data sources, develop a more comprehensive catastrophe model.
