Night Lights
AI sifts through extensive collections of satellite imagery to identify vessels of varying sizes, correlating them with AIS data and highlighting those vessels not broadcasting their position within a short span of a few hours (“dark” vessels).
Dark Rendezvous
The platform utilizes a custom-built AI model that surfaces vessel movement that could indicate a rendezvous with another, non-AIS transmitting vessel. Indications of such encounters include slow speeds and alterations in course, among other factors.
Fishing
State-of-the-art AI monitors 100 million AIS messages every day, pinpointing fishing vessels globally in real-time. Skylight's AI model focuses on industrial fishing methods, including trawling, purse seining, longlining, and squid jigging.
Standard Rendezvous
Automatically generated when two vessels broadcasting on AIS are near one another for a certain amount of time, which could indicate potential fisheries transshipments, bunkering (or fuel transfers), or exchanges of supplies.
Entry
An Entry Event notifies a user that an AIS-transmitting vessel has entered an area they define, whether it is an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), a Marine Protected Area (MPA), or other regions of interest. Skylight allows users to easily customize these in the platform to tailor monitoring parameters to specific needs or preferences.
Speed Range
Users can choose to monitor an area for vessels exceeding speed limits or loitering in ways not captured by other Events. Such monitoring is instrumental in safeguarding marine life, identifying vessels in distress, and detecting possible illegal fishing within marine protected areas.
