We've combined AIS and sentinel 1 SAR with OSINT from @te3ej.bsky.social, @rfnosblog.bsky.social, @puca.bsky.social, @vesselspotter.eurosky.social, @pa.nton.cx to locate RFN Admiral Grigorovich and RFN PM-82 conducting resupply off the UK's Galloper wind farm, in what is now a regular RFN operation.

Ukraine strikes Russian “shadow fleet” tanker West Horizon in the Black Sea Data from @starboardintelligence.com showed the ship had its transponder turned off since at least June 8. The attack occurred overnight on June 10, according to Ukraine's General Staff.

U.S. says it attacked a UAE-owned commercial vessel trying to break through the Iran maritime blockade Lian Star’s AIS went dark in the Gulf of Oman on May 25, according to @starboardintelligence.com. CENTCOM said it “disabled” the ship by firing a Hellfire missile into its engine room on May 29.

@usni.org reporting the 1st-ever US Coast Guard-Philippine Coast Guard joint patrol at the Scarborough Shoal. The original analysis was completed using Starboard by sealight.live with assistance from @supbrow.bsky.social.

“For data on the AIS-off events and movement near undersea cables, we obtained additional data support from Starboard Maritime Intelligence, a platform utilized by government agencies, defense forces and critical infrastructure operators to analyze maritime risks” pulitzercenter.org/resource/how...

@bloomberg.com analysis of data from Starboard Maritime Intelligence identified more than 100 Chinese vessels that passed within 10 nautical miles of Vietnamese-controlled sea features during the past year, www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

“The Russian-flagged tanker has resumed movement after drifting for nearly a month... However, instead of heading toward Cuba, it turned south, according to data provided to The Insider by the vessel-tracking service Starboard Maritime Intelligence.”

Russia’s FSB claims finding “NATO-manufactured” magnetic mines on natural gas carrier calling at port of Ust-Luga from Belgium NATO has denied mining the vessel, while @starboardintelligence.com data indicates the ship's timeline matches the account of its captain.

Tampnet and Starboard Maritime Intelligence have unveiled the world’s first operational integration of fibre-optic sensing into a live AI-powered maritime intelligence platform, a move aimed at strengthening protection of critical subsea infrastructure. splash247.com/tampnet-and-...

Congratulations to @mattnippert.bsky.social for his well deserved award. @maritimekiwi.bsky.social worked alongside Matt to to map the growth of the CI fleet using Starboard’s global AIS coverage, and the striking resulted are visualised by Matt below. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/eRl6x/1/

The authoritative analysis of what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz: @thestudyofwar.bsky.social l and @criticalthreats.bsky.social. The ship data: Starboard Maritime Intelligence.

More Strait of Hormuz analysis by @thestudyofwar.bsky.social and @criticalthreats.bsky.social using Starboard Maritime Intelligence.

Fantastic to see our tracking data used by the team at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social and @criticalthreats.bsky.social to monitor the ship movements in the Strait of Hormuz, and using it as part of their analysis to understand the politics and strategy driving the activity.

It’s likely that the UAE and other Gulf countries activated electronic warfare systems following these latest attacks, said @maritimekiwi.bsky.social, of Starboard Maritime Intelligence. “Shipping, and most noticeably AIS data, got caught in the crossfire” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Ukraine’s General Staff says “shadow fleet” tanker hit 130 miles from Russia’s Black Sea port of Tuapse @starboardintelligence.com data shows the sanctioned tanker Marquise’s AIS signal dropped off, transmitted clearly false coordinates, or was jammed.

From @theipaper.com and @richardholmes.bsky.social with help from @starboardintelligence.com The deployment of Russian warships to UK waters is a new normal. The article notes the strain this must be putting on the Russian Navy, but it’s keeping the RN busy as well. inews.co.uk/news/russian...

I recently spoke to Duncan McRae of the Saltwater Strategist podcast navalinstitute.com.au/category/podcast/. It was great to talk about the work @starboardintelligence.com is doing to bring operational advantage to the maritime domain - across military, law enforcement, and industry

Tankers from Russia’s “shadow fleet” begin avoiding UK waters, leading to unprecedented number of ships seen off the west coast of Ireland Five tankers spotlighted by @irishtimes.com sailed past Ireland in convoy, likely to avoid detention. @starboardintelligence.com data shows them near Gibraltar.

Thanks to David Seymour @dbseymour.bsky.social for taking the time to meet with us and hear more about the opportunities ahead for NZ and the wider maritime industry. facebook.com/share/r/1FBD... #StarboardMaritimeIntelligence #Maritime #NewZealand #GlobalBusiness #Innovation #Leadership

Forty-two Chinese research vessels. Five years. Three oceans. Reuters traced the operation using Starboard Maritime Intelligence's ship-tracking platform. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Great to continue our work with @irishtimes.com and @conorgallagher.bsky.social highlighting the grey zone and hybrid warfare threats facing Ireland and Europe. Starboard data enabled the accurate tracking of the vessels activities, including port calls.

Six sanctioned Russian tankers diverted from the English Channel hours after the UK authorised vessel seizure powers. @richardholmes.bsky.social inews.co.uk/news/putins-...

"A deliberate pattern of operating in sensitive areas, outside the view of traditional tracking systems." @maritimekiwi.bsky.social's analysis of China's deep-sea mining fleet with @mongabay.com & @cnn.com — 8 vessels, 5 years, more military activity than mining. www.starboardintelligence.com

“In tracing this effort, Reuters… analyzed more than five years of movement by 42 research vessels active in the Pacific, Indian or Arctic oceans using a ship-tracking platform built by New Zealand company @starboardintelligence.com”

ABC NEWS Verify obtained tracking data via @starboardintelligence.com — a ship-tracking company. Cargo tanker Ocean Guardian, together with another vessel owned by the same company, completed at least 30 shipments from Iran in 2025, according to analyst @maritimekiwi.bsky.social.

Sanctioned Russian LNG carrier Arctic Metagaz catches fire in the Mediterranean Sea Data from @starboardintelligence.com showed the ship stopped transmitting an AIS signal on the evening of March 2 as it exited Malta’s exclusive economic zone.

GPS jamming is yet another threat to shipping in the Gulf. “The development, picked up from maritime monitoring data and sharp “jumps” in the routes depicted on electronic maps, was shared with The Insider by analysts from the Starboard Maritime Intelligence.”

According to data from @starboardintelligence.com, the ship arrived in the port of St. Petersburg on Jan. 16 after sailing from the Egyptian port of Damietta, then headed back out to sea before being detained off Denmark’s coast.

Congratulations to @osc-london.bsky.social for this in-depth report. The team used Starboard data, along with other sources, to identify dredgers and other vessels in the area of interest and to track their movements between visits. stories.opensourcecentre.org/coral-to-con...

The majority of the vessels are crude oil carriers that appear to be operating between Iran and China… conducting ship-to-ship transfers and other movements designed to hide the true origin of the oil… said @maritime ekiwi.bsky.social of Starboard Maritime Intelligence. www.dw.com/en/tonga-coo...

“Analysis of AIS data from commercial provider Starboard Maritime Intelligence indicates that while China’s overall patrol volume has increased compared to 2024… showing a clear reallocation of CCG resources toward flashpoints between China and the Philippines.” amti.csis.org/eyes-on-the-...

There has undoubtedly been a lull in shadow fleet (and ex-shadow fleet, now Russian) tankers entering the Baltic. But that’s going to end soon and I think INA #IMO9308443is is going to be the first big test of resolve following the recent announcement by the Coastal States of the North Sea.

France seizes suspected Russian “shadow fleet” tanker Grinch in the Mediterranean Sea @starboardintelligence.com data reviewed by The Insider showed that the ship had changed flags five times over the past two years and only changed its name from “Carl” to “Grinch” last April.

A 290-mile wall of ships. Watch as 1,700+ vessels move in the East China Sea (23–28 Dec). @nytimes.com reports this as a "quietly mobilized" barrier. Starboard Maritime Intelligence provided the data verification behind this analysis. 🧵

Great to work with @en.afp.com to help with their coverage of Maritime Cook Islands and the Cook Islands Registry. Former Royal New Zealand Navy officer @maritimekiwi.bsky.social said some 150 foreign tankers were registered in the Cook Islands at its busiest point in 2024.

At least ten sanctioned vessels... are falsely flying under the flag of Tonga, according to Wellington-based @starboardintelligence.com. @maritimekiwi.bsky.social told RNZ Pacific it would be highly unusual for Tonga to flag oil tankers, given their ship registry closed all the way back in 2002.

A great piece by @richardholmes.bsky.social of @theipaper.com A falsely flagged shadow fleet tanker, sanctioned by the UK, US and EU, travelled through UK territorial waters off of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, according to data provided by Starboard Maritime Intelligence. www.msn.com/en-ie/news/w...

The reflagging of the MARINERA was not an isolated incident. It was a part of a growing trend. Starboard analysis has identified 30 sanctioned vessels reflagging to Russia in just the last 2 months. This is a coordinated, state-level absorption of shadow tonnage. Watch the fleet emerge globally:

Grateful to @telegraph.co.uk for citing our work tracking these tankers. “The exact courses and destinations of the tankers are unknown but satellite imagery by Starboard Maritime Intelligence showed them heading towards either Africa or Europe.” www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

The action was following the publication of this article by Sealight which used @starboardintelligence.com data to investigate a dredger operating in the area using some very interesting AIS details… www.sealight.live/posts/the-hy...

@tankertrackers.com I can see where the four in the @nytimes.com article (BERTHA, VESNA, and VERONICA III). I'm guessing you also clocked these four that @starboardintelligence.com spotted west of Granada on 5 January - any idea who they are?

Thanks @pa.nton.cx for the heads up - MARINERA and mystery vessel on Sentinel-2 imagery around 19:00h UTC, 06 January. Appears likely to be the USCG: www.twz.com/news-feature...

From @richardholmes.bsky.social “The British government fear a US operation to seize a Russian-flagged oil tanker 200 miles off British waters could spark retaliation from Vladimir Putin… It is due to pass into European waters within hours, according to data provided by @starboardintelligence.com ”

Happy to be working with @conorgallagher.bsky.social and @irishtimes.com to track MARINERA as she approaches the Irish EEZ. “Satellite data provided by the analysis company @starboardintelligence.com, showed the Marinera sailing at speed northeast across the Atlantic on Friday afternoon”

Tanker pursued by the U.S. for two weeks switches to Russian registry and heads north at top speed The “Marinera,” previously known as the Bella 1, evaded the U.S. Coast Guard after leaving the waters off Venezuela. It was last in the North Atlantic, as per data from @starboardintelligence.com.

Great to work with Weilun Soon from Bloomberg on their coverage of the US actions off Venezuela “While the US has sanctioned numerous vessels and organizations, it hasn’t stemmed the flow. Physical boarding is the next step,” said @maritimekiwi.bsky.social from @starboardintelligence.com.

Attacks force Russia’s “shadow fleet” tankers to reroute along Turkey’s Black Sea coast The Insider has confirmed, using @starboardintelligence.com data, that the routes of at least two vessels — sanctioned tankers Torx and Jumbo — to Russia changed. They are now sailing closer to Turkey's coast.

Ukraine says it attacked a Russian “shadow fleet” tanker in the Mediterranean Sea for the first time The multi-stage plan resulted in the SBU’s Alpha unit striking the tanker Qendil. The Insider reviewed the ship's movements using @starboardintelligence.com data.

Ukraine claims first Sea Baby underwater drone strike on Russian Kilo-class submarine in Novorossiysk The submarine was docked in Novorossiysk after Ukrainian drone attacks pushed much of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet out of occupied Crimea.

Drone strikes in the Black Sea and vessel seizures in the Caribbean: states are testing jurisdiction against "stateless" vessels. @maritimekiwi.bsky.social co-authored this important piece with NU Singapore's Dr Trung Nguyen for @opiniojuris.bsky.social. opiniojuris.org/2025/12/15/b...
