Windward and INTERPOL collaborate to fight global maritime crime

Windward has partnered with INTERPOL to enhance maritime security by providing intelligence and insights through its Maritime AI platform. The partnership aims to identify, track, and prevent criminal activities such as illicit trafficking, human smuggling, and illegal fishing in order to create a more secure maritime environment. With sea transport accounting for 90 percent of global goods movement, maritime security is a challenging task due to the vastness of the oceans and the international nature of the industry.

The lack of actionable visibility in the maritime domain emboldens criminals, negatively impacts global trade, and poses significant threats to national and international security. Through the partnership, INTERPOL will leverage Windward’s insights to advance investigations of suspicious vessels, activities, and areas of interest worldwide. Windward’s platform will enhance INTERPOL’s capacity to detect and disrupt illegal maritime activities, including smuggling, piracy, IUU, human trafficking, and the transportation of illegal goods to create a safer maritime environment essential for the smooth flow of global trade.

Windward’s Maritime AI platform is powered by advanced machine learning and behavioral analytics models, utilizing billions of data points to provide valuable insights into vessel behaviors and ownership structures. This allows the platform to predict in real-time which vessels are likely to be involved in illicit activities. The partnership with INTERPOL demonstrates Windward’s commitment to addressing the critical issue of maritime crime and making the seas safer for global trade.
