Tanker flows and energy cargo movements monitored from satellite

Industry Solutions

Energy Sector

Cargo-flow verification, sanctions-evasion detection, and tanker-market visibility across the routes that move energy.

The Problem

Energy markets move on flows. Flows move on vessels.

Traders, analysts, and energy majors depend on knowing where cargo actually moves: which tankers loaded, where they discharged, and whether sanctioned barrels entered a supply chain that must stay clean. Declared flows and AIS-based analytics miss the dark legs and at-sea transfers that define exactly the trades worth knowing about.

Theia verifies the flow at the vessel level: laden movements confirmed by observation, transfers detected whether declared or not, sanctioned-trade patterns surfaced across tanker fleets, and the chokepoint context that shapes freight and supply risk.
