Critical Maritime Infrastructure

Critical maritime infrastructure protection

Subsea cables, ports, and offshore energy assets face rising risks from both accidents and deliberate interference. Starboard protects these critical systems by monitoring vessel activity in real time, detecting threats early, and providing verified evidence for rapid response.

The challenge

Ports, offshore energy facilities, and subsea cables face mounting risks—from anchor strikes and accidental interference to deliberate sabotage. Infrastructure operators need intelligence that goes beyond visibility, enabling them to prevent disruption before it happens.

Understand the risks, environmental factors and key insights before an asset hits the water

Reveal conflicts, risks, and opportunities of an area for the planning and operation of offshore infrastructure. Historic vessel traffic in an area relating to fishing, recreational, and commercial activity, and a time-dependent met-ocean layer provide navigational patterns.

Analyse vessel activity over months or years to quantify human activity in development zones and mitigate future risks.

Get peace of mind with 24/7 monitoring and proactive threat detection

Get notified in real-time by customisable alerts when vessels posing a potential risk enter a geofenced area. Starboard's customisable alert system allows you to define specific criteria and receive real-time notifications when potential threats arise. Ensure continuous vigilance and respond swiftly to developing situations, minimising risks and protecting your valuable assets.

Set alerts for when vessels travel at a speed. This could indicate anchor drag, fishing vessels using bottom trawling equipment, or suspicious loitering activity.

Investigate incidents to support damage claims

Find out who may be responsible for damage to an asset

Using full temporal resolution AIS data from terrestrial, satellite and vessel-borne receivers, investigators can view precise locations and movements of vessels in the vicinity of the damage. Vessels of interest can be tagged, alerted upon, and tracked globally in real time.

A vessel at anchor is dragged into a cable exclusion zone under strong westerly winds. Starboard can alert users of such cases in real time.
