Maritime Transparency Index

A clear view of Global Maritime Risk

The Maritime Transparency Index sets a new standard for maritime risk, scoring vessels on transparency, compliance, and safety. By analysing vessel behaviour, ownership, and various factors, MTI delivers a unified, data-driven view of maritime risk — turning complexity into clarity.

A 360° View of Maritime Transparency

MTI evaluates each vessel across five core dimensions of transparency — combining operational, behavioural, and key risk indicators into one unified framework. (Features marked * are in development.)

Vessel

Integrity, age, deficiencies, detentions.

Voyage

AIS consistency, flag hopping, dark activity, and port history.

Emissions

CO₂ output and efficiency.*


Border Security

Cargo integrity and cross-border compliance.*

Supply Chain

Ownership and control chains across entities.*

Scoring from Data to Decisions

Every vessel in the global fleet receives a transparency score — from 0 (Hard Dark) to 5 (Transparent). Like a credit rating, this score enables rapid comparison, trend analysis, and risk prioritisation.

  • Automated scoring powered by live AIS and ownership data.
  • Enables fleet-level benchmarking and peer comparison.
  • Downloadable transparency reports and AI-generated explanations.
  • Integrated into Pole Star’s risk and compliance ecosystem.

It’s Not Just About Risk — It’s About Opportunity

A lower transparency score isn’t always negative — it reflects a vessel’s operational profile and exposure level. For different stakeholders, these insights unlock targeted financial and operational advantages:

  • Insurers: Optimise premiums, avoid underpriced exposure.
  • Fleet Owners: Reduce idle time and boost utilisation.
  • Financiers: Reprice loans and protect collateral.
  • Charterers: Identify reliable and compliant partners.
