1:00 pm - 4:00 pm Workshop D: Maritime Security Intelligence Through Data Analytics
To have a more systematic manner of assessing vessels, one must first have a comprehensive picture from which assessment could do holistically. Through this workshop, the concept of a single system that would integrate data, facilities the sharing of information, and provide insights was born.
The popular fused maritime situation picture, which incorporates open source and commercial information for global coverage, augments the surveillance coverage beyond the existing system. Data analytics provide a common information baseline to support collaboration among maritime security agencies in jointly tackling maritime security threats.
