Very high resolution optical satellites offer a unique view of our oceans, seas, and coasts. They also provide a cost-effective and simple method of monitoring wide areas over maritime zones globally. They are an indispensable tool for managing the actions and events that impact on maritime safety, security, and sustainability.

There is a growing need for coverage and detection of large maritime areas, mainly in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Since physically accessing such a large area is practically impossible, satellite imagery offers an efficient and cost-effective solution. European Space Imaging works with many regulatory bodies monitoring EU waters to ascertain Maritime Situational Awareness in order to identify vessels, rescue lives  at sea and keep Europe and its citizens safe.

Monitoring the marine environment poses unique challenges of rapidly changing weather patterns and constantly moving vessels. We have tailored ordering, collection and rush delivery workflows to mitigate these challenges and maintain valuable partnerships with EU maritime authorities.
