A fantastic look from @airbus.com at how the Irish Air Corps uses their #C295 Maritime Surveillance Aircraft to protect livelihoods and prevent illegal fishing. 🇮🇪✈️ This documentary highlights the universal challenge of monitoring vast maritime areas effectively. Watch: youtu.be/CxeaBdOXyho

Starboard is in Sydney next week for the Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition Richard Popple and @maritimekiwi.bsky.social will be at the NZ Stand - 2N37, sharing how Starboard delivers actionable maritime intelligence for governments, defence, and critical infrastructure operators.

The failure of the FURIA in the Danish Straits and the grounding of KOMANDER in the Suez Canal are not isolated accidents. They are the inevitable, kinetic consequence of the "shadow fleet": ageing, uninsured vessels operating outside maritime law.

Indian state oil firm claims it will buy only “non-sanctioned” Russian crude, but tracing its origin is difficult Once oil leaves port, it often changes hands multiple times, making full traceability difficult even with satellite and AIS tracking, says maritime analyst @maritimekiwi.bsky.social.

Honoured to be named Wellington NZ’s Fastest Growing Tech Business in the Deloitte Fast 50 🏆 This reflects our critical mission: delivering trusted, actionable intelligence to secure global maritime interests. Huge thanks to our exceptional crew, and to Deloitte NZ & BNZ.

The activity of 68 of the 94 vessels the S&P database has listed as being insured by Maritime Mutual. Some interesting ports of call and taking the long way around Ireland and the United Kingdom @conorgallagher.bsky.social. And for @starboardint.bsky.social users: app.starboard.nz/link/4qy2kvt...

NATO’s Baltic Sentry confirms that threats to undersea cables can be prevented by deterrence through vigilance. Zero incidents occurred, proving the value of persistent surveillance. Starboard Maritime Intelligence's fused intelligence provides a path to enhance this resilience.

Ray Powell’s analysis of the grey-zone war in the South China Sea is a critical read. Coercive action and hybrid tactics are enabled by ambiguity and deceptive identity management. This operational gap is where Starboard delivers a strategic advantage. thedispatch.com/article/sout...

According to @csis.org’s analysis of AIS data from Starboard Maritime Intelligence, on Sept. 24 the Onnuri, an ocean survey vessel under an agency of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, entered the West Sea provisional measures zone. biz.chosun.com/en/en-policy...

The Ekofisk 2/4 K platform has been temporarily shut down after a nearby multipurpose vessel lost propulsion and made contact with the structure, according to reports from @tv2norge.bsky.social. No injuries and no evacuation of the platform.

🌐 Data is the new deterrent in the maritime grey zone The latest @futures.csis.org report, “Signals in the Swarm", maps grey-zone activity near Taiwan using AIS and open-source data — but AIS relies on self-reported vessel identities.

On 21 Oct 1805, a pivotal naval battle was fought off Cape Trafalgar. 205 years later, the UK, France & Spain are NATO allies confronting a new maritime threat.

Mass and persistence matter — but so does fusion. At Starboard, we fuse over a billion data points every day to track over 250 thousand vessels worldwide. That same model is now being adapted for defence — bringing seabed-to-space awareness to modern operations.

Starboard Maritime Intelligence has identified a false-flagged VLCC — NOVA (#IMO9283801) — transiting west through the Malacca Strait. It is now operating as ARROW (#IMO9212876), scrapped in 2018 as S MISTRAL. The stolen identity and AIS spoofing indicate sanctions evasion.

🌊 Extending awareness beneath the surface. Starboard is integrating distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) — turning subsea fibre networks into continuous acoustic sensors that reveal movement, interference, and other unseen activity below.
