Processing oceans for you

Now analysing S2A_56HLH_20250525114122
Total Maritime Domain Awareness is a combined effort. We do our part by processing multispectral satellite images with cutting edge machine learning. Our ship detections provides a focal point for your maritime operations – wherever you are.

Find focus with our unique maritime insight

Illegal fishing, assets protection, and environmental crimes are maritime challenges faced by governments and businesses around the world. The vastness of the sea and the limited traceability of ships create large information gaps, adding to the complexity of these challenges. Satellite images could fill in some of the blanks, but the images are just as vast as the oceans themselves. To get actionable insights from this data is laborious work – this is where we come in.

We use machine learning to automatically detect ships in satellite images. The result of our sole maritime focus is in a specialized algorithm capable of generating training data. This makes us uniquely flexible in terms of dat a source, scalability, and the degree of human verification. Creating one-of-a kind maritime insight suited to your needs.

VAKE is continuously improving maritime insights services in close collaboration with governments, offshore asset owners and shipping companies. Sign up to learn more about how AI-boosted satellite data can highlight what is happening at sea, and what this means for your business and use cases.

Technology

We use our cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to detect ships in satellites images, which provides the focal points needed for your maritime operations.
Multispectral

Multispectral

We deliver automated vessel detections in multispectral satellite imagery. These images, processed by our algorithm, exploit information throughout the light spectrum, uncovering information no current system can.
Specialized

Specialized

As opposed to other satellite data analytics solutions, we’re deeply specialised in Maritime Domain analysis. Our solution is proven to efficiently, affordably and automatically detect vessels in any area of interest.
Flexible

Flexible

We are experts in geospatial data. This makes us able to unlock the real insights of data fusion, and flexible to use the data sources that fit your use case and budget. Our current source results in a price at the fraction of other systems.

Products

We cater to your needs and offer multiple modes of accessing our insights. Our data can either be integrated with your solutions and interfaces through our API, or viewed through VAKE's intelligent web interfaces that unlock analysis on another level.
