Status: Live Intelligence
Know every vessel.
Even the ones gone dark.
Theia fuses satellite imagery, SAR, and AIS into a single verified picture of activity at sea. When vessels disable transponders, spoof position, or hide identity, we surface them with evidence, not inference.

The Gap
AIS only shows you what vessels choose to show.
Ninety percent of global trade moves by sea, yet much of it is invisible to conventional monitoring. AIS works when vessels cooperate. The vessels that matter most do not.
They go dark. They spoof position. They share identities and transfer cargo in open water to evade sanctions. Theia treats AIS as one input, then verifies it against satellite and SAR to reveal what cooperative signals miss.
Capabilities
Six ways the picture comes together.
Each closes a gap AIS-only monitoring leaves open, and each stands up as evidence.
Detection
Dark Vessel Detection
Find vessels that disable AIS, verified from orbit day or night, through cloud.
147K+ detections
Signal Integrity
AIS Spoofing Detection
Catch false positions, manipulated identity, and shared MMSI numbers.
65,839 ships
Event Detection
Ship-to-Ship Transfers
Detect covert cargo transfers used to evade sanctions and obscure origin.
143,401 events
Identity
Vessel Attribution
Put a name to the hull with behavioral fingerprinting and multi-source fusion.

Ground Truth for Every Decision
One chain of evidence, end to end.
01 / Collect
Multi-Source
AIS, satellite imagery, and SAR, collected globally, day and night.
02 / Detect
Analyze
Machine learning finds every vessel in frame, including those broadcasting nothing.
03 / Attribute
Identify
Behavioral fingerprinting and fusion put a name to the hull.
04 / Deliver
Prove
Verified events with full provenance, to analysts and through the API.
Customer Impact
i’ve found Theia particularly valuable in identifying dark and anomalous vessels…
…an area that is critical to our operational objectives. The platform’s ability to surface hidden maritime activity has proven to be a significant asset in enhancing both situational awareness and mission planning.
Third Fleet
US Navy
I see Theia supporting us by identifying areas with dark vessels.
There are several areas in our AOR where I suspect there is routine illicit activity; fusing analysis from Theia into actionable targeting products.
Sector Key West
US Coast Guard
the only vendor capable of providing daily unclassified detections of thousands of unique vessels…
The performance of this algorithm currently exceeds government computer vision capabilities… It is imperative these capabilities continue to be provided without a gap in service.
