What is Pole Star Maritime Domain Awareness?

Pole Star provides a comprehensive cloud-based MDA solution that acts as an integrated data management platform tailored for stakeholders in Homeland Security, facilitating the rapid and accurate collection and analysis of maritime geospatial data. By utilizing secure satellite technologies such as LRIT, VMS, and SSAS alongside satellite and terrestrial AIS data, our cutting-edge tracking system creates an extensive hybrid track that includes both domestic LRIT vessels and the wider non-SOLAS fleet, as well as any maritime assets operating within a designated area of interest. Users gain full access to terrestrial and satellite AIS data, complemented by our innovative tracking capability, which integrates various position data points into a cohesive and smooth position track. Additionally, our system empowers users to observe all vessels within a specified radius of any ship or location, enabling swift identification of nearby vessels to enhance situational awareness and operational effectiveness. This comprehensive strategy not only improves data aggregation but also equips decision-makers with real-time insights into maritime operations, fostering a more informed approach to security and management in maritime domains. Ultimately, our solution aims to transform maritime operations by providing unparalleled data access and analysis capabilities.

What is BigOceanData?

BigOceanData is a UK-based commercial vessel tracking and maritime intelligence platform. It is used by fleet operators and ship owners, marine insurers and risk managers, maritime security providers, port and terminal operators, fisheries and environmental bodies, and government and regulatory organisations. The platform is built for teams that share responsibility for a fleet or a region. Alerts, zones, vessel lists and investigation history sit in one shared workspace, so everyone works from the same operational picture rather than from separate tools and separate versions of the truth. Coverage comes from terrestrial AIS, satellite AIS and independent position sources including Inmarsat-C, Iridium and onboard devices, around 80 million position reports a day across more than 450,000 vessels and 4,500 ports. Because those sources share one pipeline, AIS Continuity keeps a vessel visible when its transponder is switched off, jammed or out of range, and every position records where it came from. Capabilities include real-time and historical tracking, voyage replay for investigating events, geofencing with configurable alerts, port activity monitoring, multi-year movement history, vessel risk assessment against historic piracy incident data, and an integrated Ship Security Alert (SSAS) System. Route optimisation, powered by ABB Ability Vessel Routing, weighs time, fuel, cost, ETA and safety thresholds rather than distance alone, and sits alongside live tracking so planned and actual passage can be compared directly. More than 200 organisations use BigOceanData worldwide, including Maersk, Kuehne+Nagel and Crisis24. 96% of clients renew. Plans are published rather than quote-only, starting at $189 per month, supporting fleets from 2 vessels to more than 500.
