📜 Playbook — Maritime Intelligence collection

1. Direction — frame the requirement for Maritime Intelligence: what decision does this support, by when?
2. Collection — collect from the 5 mapped sources (3 free) — filter the catalog by MARINT; capture provenance and observe OPSEC.
3. Processing — normalize, de-duplicate and enrich the collected data.
4. Analysis — correlate against local holdings; apply ACH; assign confidence.
5. Dissemination — open a case, draft a report, share via STIX/MISP.
6. Feedback — set an alert rule / watchlist to monitor for change.

⚡ AI Skills & Automation

Automate unattended via the cron pipeline (collect → ingest → resolve → enrich → score → alert).

🎯 Mission

Maritime Intelligence collects vessel movements, ownership, port calls and AIS behavior to characterize activity at sea and in port. It answers who owns and operates a vessel, where dark or spoofed AIS conceals ship-to-ship transfers and sanctions evasion, and how port throughput and berth occupancy are changing.

📡 Collection methods

• Terrestrial and satellite AIS collection of position, MMSI, IMO and voyage data
• AIS-gap, spoofing and loitering detection for dark-vessel behavior
• SAR and optical satellite imagery to detect non-broadcasting (dark) vessels
• IMO/MMSI registry and beneficial-ownership enrichment
• Port-call, anchorage and berth-occupancy monitoring
• Ship-to-ship (STS) transfer rendezvous-pattern detection

📜 Maritime Intelligence Tradecraft

1. Stream terrestrial and satellite AIS from aisstream, MarineTraffic and Global Fishing Watch for the area of interest.
2. Clean MMSI/IMO fields, stitch voyage tracks, and tag AIS gaps, speed anomalies and identity swaps.
3. Correlate AIS gaps with Sentinel-1 SAR detections to expose dark vessels and STS rendezvous.
4. Attribute IMO to registered, operating and beneficial owners via Equasis, IMO GISIS and OpenCorporates.
5. Publish a vessel dossier, dark-activity map and STS-pair ledger to the MARINT dashboard.
6. Escalate flagged owners/vessels to sanctions screening and cue interdiction or port-state tipping.
