The Windward Early Detection solution has launched. It is a game-changing, AI-based solution that reveals the unknown unknowns (unanticipated threats and patterns) and delivers early intelligence and business insights on pivotal events, geopolitical shifts, supply chain disruptions, and covert operations. “Intelligence is power, and those with the earliest data and insights inevitably lead the market. ...
The maritime and ocean freight industries unfortunately have data issues. The phrase “Garbage in, garbage out” applies. AIS data comes with a great deal of “noise” and effective container tracking is not just about data, it involves quick mining to produce actionable insights. Without quality data, logistics and supply chain organizations cannot effectively manage container...
Stay ahead of bad actors and emerging global risks to quickly identify maritime anomalies and trends in real-time, with Maritime AI™. Optimize strategic operations and decision-support processes with predictive intelligence, comprehensive risk insights, and recommendations.
Enhanced maritime domain awareness with AI-driven operational precision, actionable insights, and predictive risk recommendations
Finding the “unknowns”
Detect previously unknown global emerging threats in areas of interest with full context and applied-AI insights, based on behavioral anomalies and seasonal outliers
Predictive analytics
Automatic recommendations for new lead generation based on real cases, and behavioral patterns of known targets of interest
Enhanced tipping and cueing
Smarter operational planning and decision-making processes with a vendor-agnostic platformand multi-source intelligence
Adopt a dynamic, insights-driven approach to risk mitigation to quickly expose maritime threats as they develop in real-time, and make smarter operational decisions before bad actors breach your borders.
Screen incoming vessels for behavioral risk indicators with AI, patent-pending smuggling risk models
Follow the cargo with dynamic route tracking, voyage milestones, and enriched wet cargo data
Uncover ownership networks and connections for maritime entities across the entire trade supply chain
Plan strategic deployment of missions and support asset protection using data-driven insights
Enhance strategic missions, safeguard national interests, and optimize operational decision-making and resource allocation with predictive intelligence based on patented AI technology.
Track vessels throughout their lifetime with a patented entity resolution
Enhance tipping and cueing operations by combining predictive intelligence and remote sensing technology
Proactively identify behavioral outliers in real-time, and enhance risk prediction and investigations
Deepen geopolitical expansion understanding with visibility into the entire IUU fishing supply chain
Sanctions evasion
Mitigate the Ripple Effect of Sanctions
Vessels that engage in sanctioned oil trade, disregarding international regulations, will obviously have no issue also contravening your regulations. Law enforcement and intelligence units require global threat visibility in the context of sanction evasions and illicit hub emergence to mitigate the ripple effect sanctions have on deceptive shipping practices, trade, etc.
Screen vessels and connected ownership structures against sanctions and watchlists
Leverage the only solution to provide automatic visibility into location (GNSS) manipulation, with more than 1,400 confirmed cases already in the system
Save up to 50% of investigation times with 4x fewer false positives and negatives than the industry standard
Monitor evolving threats in the context of geopolitical events, safety hazards, and political drivers
Discovering the “Unknown-Unknowns”
Windward’s early detection AI-driven model was designed to automatically identify behavioral outliers of maritime entities, by continuously analyzing data sets and pushing real-time notifications for any relevant anomaly.
Predict evolving risks and global trends by proactively recognizing behavioral outliers
Rule out legitimate and expected changes, and identify seasonality based on historical behavior
Customize data sets to fit your relevant activities, timeframes, locations, and vessel populations
Enhance investigations with customized queries, data filters, and behavioral context
Not all that transmit are legit
Going Beyond Dark Activities
Dark activities are still popular, but many of today’s illicit actors opt for more advanced tactics. They manipulate vessels’ AIS to seem legitimate while engaging in deceptive practices that expose shipping stakeholders to regulatory and financial risks. As AIS transmissions become less reliable as a marker of illicit activities, organizations require careful screening and advanced Maritime AI™ insights for more accurate decision-making.
