Summary and Movement History for a Vessel

IHS Fairplay MDA WatchKeeper is based upon a foundation of comprehensive maritime data. Fairplay is the only organization to provide complete details of the current world merchant fleet over 100 GT. The data included in the system can be grouped into six categories:

• Ships 
• Owners and operators 
• Movements 
• Automatic Identification System (AIS) 
• Port or facility 
• IMO

This graphical user interface addresses the multiple challenges that organizations face in the deployment and use of technology to support MDA. It's a unique low-cost hosted solution that pairs high-quality data with easy-to-use analysis, workflow and collaboration tools.

You can define up to 60 criteria (e.g. vessel age, flag of convenience) to give you a risk profile on each ship. Analysis results can be shared with local, national and international partners, and email alerts configured to notify multiple parties.

The system runs at the unclassified level and is easy to implement and user friendly, with no hardware costs or software to install. It's easily customized to support multiple missions and adapt to varying enforcement priorities.
