Subsea pipeline corridor & offshore asset monitoring

Early detection of vessels anchoring, trawling or loitering inside pipeline, subsea cable and platform safety zones.

The challenge

Ship anchors and bottom-trawling gear are leading causes of damage to pipelines and subsea cables. Repairs and shutdowns are costly, and evidence to identify the vessel responsible is often missing.

Key features

Digital geofences

Define pipeline corridors, no-anchoring areas and platform safety zones, each with its own alert rules.

Risk behaviour detection

Vessels slowing, stopping, circling or lingering in a corridor are flagged as anchoring/trawling risks.

AIS, radar and camera fusion

Radar and thermal cameras reveal vessels with AIS switched off.

Virtual AIS AtoN marking

Warnings shown directly on passing ships’ ECDIS/radar.

Active outreach

Workflow to hail the vessel by VHF and notify authorities on alert.

Track history & playback

Archived tracks provide evidence after an incident.
