Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)

Pole Star’s secure cloud-based MDA solution provides an integrated data management platform for those associated with Homeland Security to rapidly and accurately collect and correlate maritime geospatial data. Utilising secure satellite data (including LRIT, VMS, and SSAS sources), alongside satellite and terrestrial-based AIS data, our patented tracking technology creates a hybrid track of not only your domestic LRIT vessels, but also your non-SOLAS fleet and any maritime asset operating and reporting within your desired area of interest.

This intelligence can be used in homeland protection, customs enforcement, port authority inspections, and by other maritime authorities for the detection of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, accidents and their investigations, dark ships, and transshipments within Exclusive Economic Zones, Territorial Seas, Fisheries, and Closed Area Zones.

Used in conjunction with Pole Star’s regulatory technology, PurpleTRAC, MDA gives commodity traders, insurers, ship charterers and organisations with exposures to shipping and cargoes full visibility of their marine assets and logistics. MDA identifies global shipping trends, and monitors vessel movements, port activity, weather, and trade flows with the most accurate and up to date vessel data available.

For commercial operators, charterers and brokers that require world-wide, competitive situational awareness; MDA offers you the data, actionable intelligence and global visibility you need to increase your competitive advantage.

Our Maritime Domain Awareness platform provides a comprehensive AIS integrated maritime data solution for shipping companies to monitor their own ships and 3rd party vessels, with an additional vessel playback facility.
