SHIP SEARCH

ships and cargo tracking

Ship Search refers to the process of locating, identifying, and tracking ships or vessels over a defined area, typically for purposes such as maritime security, rescue operations, law enforcement, commercial logistics, or environmental monitoring. This search can be conducted using various technologies and methods, including:

Radar Systems: Used on ships and coastal stations to detect vessels in surrounding waters.

Automatic Identification System (AIS): A GPS-based tracking system that transmits real-time data about a ship’s position, speed, and identity.

Satellite Imaging: High-resolution satellite imagery is used to detect and track vessels, especially in remote or vast oceanic areas.

Drones and Aircraft: Deployed for aerial surveillance to visually confirm the location or condition of a ship.

Sonar and Underwater Sensors: Used in underwater searches, especially for sunken or missing ships.

Ship search operations are critical for ensuring maritime safety, preventing illegal activities such as smuggling or piracy, and responding to emergencies like shipwrecks or oil spills.
