exactAIS® services help organisations protect the
environment and manage harvesting activities. 

Through the use of AIS data, organisations can:

  • Geo-fence environmentally sensitive or Marine Protected Areas (MPA)
  • Fuse AIS data with radar/optical assets
  • Maintain vessel historical track for investigative
    reporting purposes
  • Track historical analyses of traffic within MPA
 

This enables:

  • Automated alerting of vessels entering MPA
  • Detection and identification of oil spills and pollution
  • Automatic alerts of vessels entering environmental zone
  • Identification of incident suspects by track replay
  • Prediction of vessels approaching navigation hazards
  • Increase in violator prosecutions
