Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing for tuna in the Pacific region is estimated to amount to almost 200,000 tonns annually. Fisheries are of critical importance to the region with many nations working collaboratively to combat IUU fishing and increase traceability.

Learn how Starboard Maritime Intelligence and Spire Maritime have joined forces to help tackle this issue in the Pacific Ocean, using real-time AIS, AIS Position Validation, algorithms, and machine learning. AIS Position Validation is the new and unique data set from Spire Maritime that independently calculates a vessel’s location at the time of AIS transmission, even when AIS messages do not include valid GPS data.

Join our webinar on 9th August 11AM UTC with Iain Goodridge, Senior Director of RFGL at Spire, and Joseph Corbett, Chief Data Scientist at Starboard to find out how you can partner with our solutions to combat this growing concern. Learn how real-time AIS, and AIS Position Validation along with algorithms and machine learning, can be used to:

• Understand fishing vessel manoeuvres and confirm compliance with measures to combat IUU fishing.
• Uncover more intel on the location of fishing vessels that have gone dark.

AIS Position Validation:

Uncover vessel behavior anomalies and spoofing, in real time.

If you are interested to learn more about all the capabilities of AIS Position Validation, and how this unique data set allows you to independently validate a vessel’s reported position, detect vessels not reporting a validated GPS position or detect vessels reporting an incoherent position, then don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
