Vessel detection
Monitor vessel activity across oceans and ports with satellite intelligence, enhancing maritime security and operations.
How EOS RayVision supports vessel tracking
Maritime traffic monitoring
Core benefit:
Track vessels, types, density, routes and trends across large ocean areas.
Illegal fishing detection
Core benefit:
Spot unauthorized vessels in protected marine zones or fishery closures.
Port congestion assessment
Core benefit:
Count ships waiting at anchorage, measure berth occupancy, estimate vessel queue times.
Security threat identification
Core benefit:
Spot unexpected vessels, suspicious activity near critical offshore assets.

FAQ
Can you identify specific vessel types?
We can classify vessels by size category (small, medium, large) and type category (container ships, ro-ro ships, tankers, bulk carriers, passenger ships) with the higher imagery resolution.
How do you detect vessels without AIS?
SAR and optical imagery detect vessels directly based on radar or visual signature, independent of transponders.
What is the minimum vessel size you can detect?
Typically, EOS RayVision can detect vessels 15–30 meters long with medium-resolution (10m) imagery and shorter ones with high-resolution (80–30cm) imagery.
Can you track vessel movements over time?
We detect vessel positions at each image timestamp. Continuous EOS RayVision tracking is possible with frequent satellite revisit.
