Real-Time Maritime Event Alerting for Enhanced Situational Awareness

Event Alerting delivers instant notifications on critical maritime activities, including unauthorized vessel movements, AIS anomalies, and threats to infrastructure. Empower your team with intelligent alerts and rapid response capabilities, supporting proactive maritime safety.

What Can Event Alerting Detect?

Event Alerting lets you set up customized detection rules to monitor real-time vessel activity using AIS and other data sources. You’ll be instantly alerted when vessels:

  • Cross restricted lines or zones
  • Drop anchor near sensitive infrastructure
  • Drift or slow unexpectedly
  • Transmit invalid or suspicious AIS data
  • Fish in protected areas
  • Change name, draught, or destination unexpectedly

With precise filters and alert severity settings, you’ll avoid alert fatigue and focus on genuine risks.

Automated AIS Monitoring for Real-Time Vessel Tracking and Maritime Security

Who Uses  Event Alerting?

Offshore Windfarms and Rigs

Strengthen offshore asset protection with instant alerts for unauthorized vessel activity. Event Alerting utilizes intelligent geofencing to detect anchor drops, drifting, suspicious AIS data, and restricted zone breaches around windfarms and rigs. Proactively monitor critical maritime events to enhance safety, operational efficiency, and maritime security.

Maritime Authorities

Enhance maritime domain awareness by proactively monitoring vessel movements, AIS irregularities, unauthorized zone entries, and suspicious behaviors. Event Alerting enables maritime authorities to quickly detect threats like illegal fishing, restricted area breaches, or suspicious AIS data, improving response efficiency, maritime safety, and environmental protection while supporting the sustainable use of marine resources.

Subsea Cables and Pipelines

Strengthen protection of subsea cables and pipelines with real-time vessel monitoring. Event Alerting employs intelligent geofencing technology to detect anchor drops, vessel drifting, unusual AIS signals, and unauthorized vessel activity near critical underwater infrastructure. Receive instant alerts to proactively manage threats, enhance operational safety, and maintain continuous situational awareness.

Defense and Intelligence

Enhance maritime defense and intelligence capabilities with instant alerts on suspicious vessel movements, AIS irregularities, and unauthorized area entries. Event Alerting ensures rapid threat detection, enabling timely decision-making and stronger maritime security.

Environmental Agencies

Effectively safeguard protected marine ecosystems by instantly detecting unauthorized fishing, vessel intrusions, and environmental threats. Event Alerting provides precise, real-time alerts to enforce compliance and support marine conservation efforts.

Coast Guards

Improve maritime surveillance and security with immediate detection of suspicious vessel behavior, unauthorized border crossings, and AIS anomalies. Event Alerting enables coast guards to rapidly respond to maritime threats, enhancing safety and security in national waters.

Core Event Detector Types

  • Area Detector: Alerts when vessels enter or exit predefined zones
  •  Line Detector: Triggers when vessels cross user-defined boundaries
  •  Fishing Detector: Detects fishing activity based on speed or navigational status
  •  Cable Detector: Specialized for anchor drops, drifting, speed drops, and AIS issues near subsea cables

Alerting & Communication

  • Email and SMS Notifications: Instantly notify relevant stakeholders when events occur
  • Severity Levels: Classify events as Note, Warning, or Alert based on criticality
  • Custom Ship Notifications: Send messages directly to ships (requires transmit capability)

Timing & Directional Controls

  • Timing Controls: Configure activation, deactivation, and timeout parameters
  • Direction Checks: Set alerts based on vessel heading and course angles

Detection Filters & Triggers

  • Ship Lists : Include or exclude specific vessels from triggering events
  • Activity Filters : Trigger alerts based on name change, draught, or destination
  • Invalid AIS Detection : Identify unrealistic speed, invalid MMSI, or other AIS anomalies
  • Navigational Status Monitoring : Detect vessels that are anchored, aground, or stopped
  • Vessel Dimensions : Trigger alerts based on full or partial vessel entry into an area
  • Speed Drop & Drifting Detection : Monitor anchoring attempts or unintended drifting
  • Exit Check : Alert if a vessel fails to leave a defined area within expected time

Collaboration & Event Handling

  • Acknowledge Events : Mark events as seen to avoid duplicate response
  • Share Events : Share detectors and event data across teams or departments

 

Use Event Alerting With Visual Interface or API Integration

Whether you need a full-featured visual platform or direct system integration, Event Alerting fits seamlessly into your maritime operations.

  • Use the Maritime Domain Monitor interface for interactive, map-based event visualization. Set up geofences, view live vessel activity, acknowledge alerts, and coordinate responses in real time all in a single, intuitive platform.

  • Prefer to work within your own systems? Event Alerting also supports API access, allowing you to receive alerts, manage detectors, and trigger workflows directly in your existing infrastructure without switching interfaces.

Choose the setup that works best for your team: visual insight when you need it, and automation when you don’t.
