SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 06, 2018 -- CSST is planning to use Spire’s Automatic Identification System (AIS) data collected from its ever increasing constellation of satellites to drive multiple impactful use cases in maritime situational awareness throughout the South Pacific Ocean and beyond.
“We are very excited to partner with Spire and promote this innovative technology across a wide number of industries in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands,” says Rafael Kargren, CSST’s Director of Operations. “Everything in this part of the world depends on reliable ship transportation, therefore the use of AIS technology is becoming a necessity. We are planning to use this technology in areas like fishing, fleet monitoring and control, vessel tracking services and collision avoidance, maritime security, fleet and cargo tracking, aid in search and rescue operations, accident investigation, navigation aids and infrastructure protection.”
