Unveiling Vessel Activity Near the Strait of Malacca

The Strait of Malacca and its surrounding waters play a pivotal role in global trade, facilitating the transit of nearly 90,000 vessels annually. However, this critical maritime route also faces challenges from high-risk activity, including vessels obscuring their movements. Monitoring this congested and geopolitically sensitive region requires advanced technology to overcome gaps in traditional domain awareness methods.

HawkEye 360 recently analyzed vessel activity near the Strait of Malacca and uncovered ship-to-ship transfer operations between two vessels, Itagua and Shanaye Queen. Using RF data analytics and vessel identification technology, our analysts were able to detect these vessels despite their use of tactics like AIS spoofing to mask their movements.

Key Findings:

  • HawkEye 360 detected and identified Itagua and Shanaye Queen throughout their voyages and filled gaps in AIS data.
  • AIS spoofing tactics were used with no ships present at reported locations.
  • RF data informed the vessels' actual locations and was corroborated with satellite imagery to confirm dark ship-to-ship operations.
  • Findings underscore the need for advanced tools to monitor and secure vital trade routes.

HawkEye 360’s RF analytics and satellite imagery provide an innovative solution to maritime security challenges, offering new ways to monitor vessel activity in high-risk areas.

HawkEye 360 Supports Cornerstones Food Drive

The HawkEye 360 team proudly participated in this year’s HawkEye Helpers initiative, supporting the Cornerstones Thanksgiving Food Drive. Team members collected food donations and funds to assemble "Thanksgiving Meal in a Box," providing essentials to families in need, including a $25 gift card for a turkey. A dedicated group of volunteers from HawkEye 360 came together to sort and package the meal boxes, ensuring they were delivered to Cornerstones in time for the holiday. It was a meaningful effort to help brighten the season for our community.
