Norden Strait Subsea Cable Watch
A subsea cable faults twice within days. Hundreds of vessels crossed the corridor, and most have innocent explanations. Investigators need to narrow the field by matching precise fault locations and times with vessel tracks, reporting gaps, imagery and ownership changes—while the vessels of interest may still be underway.
Capabilities
Overview
Subsea cable damage can be accidental, negligent or deliberate, and the physical evidence may sit on the seabed while the relevant vessels continue moving. A useful investigation has to align engineering fault data with maritime traffic, then distinguish ordinary transits from tracks and vessel conditions that deserve closer review.
CoAnalyst360 compares fault locations and time windows with AIS or other vessel reporting, lets analysts examine gaps in those tracks, and keeps available imagery or ownership context alongside them. The goal is to narrow a large traffic set to a smaller number of vessels whose movements and circumstances warrant investigation—not to infer intent from proximity alone.
Key features
- Fault-localization ingest Take operator fault reports and optical fault localization and fix each break precisely enough to correlate against vessel traffic.
- AIS corridor replay Replay every transit through the corridor across the relevant window and identify the tracks that conjoin with the fault positions in both space and time.
- Reporting-gap analysis Treat gaps in a vessel's AIS reporting as signal, dead-reckoning across them from speed and draft profiles to test whether a gap covers a fault position.
- Imagery comparison Compare port imagery from departure and arrival for physical evidence consistent with anchor deployment, loss or damage.
- Ownership and charter tracing Trace registry filings, flag history and charter chains, surfacing recent changes of control that cluster close to an incident.
- Fleet screening and response package Screen sister vessels under the same management for comparable behavior, and compile the evidence behind a boarding request, partner notification or preservation hold.
