The depth of analytical insight and provision of ‘actionable intelligence' in the maritime domain has evolved considerably over the last few years. This has been made possible by the availability and accessibility of data sources and the involvement of data scientists and machine learning engineers to make sense of it. In this episode of Shoreline’s Maritime Risk Podcast, Shoreline consultant Nick Maddalena is joined by Brendan Moore and Eric Anderson from Synmax, a satellite data analytics company based in Houston and London. We discuss the dramatic evolution of the commercial satellite industry, how those changes have delivered deep insights into shipping activity and the maritime domain as a whole.
- Brendan Moore has spent almost 18 years working within the Intelligence field, combatting organised crime for the UK government across drugs importation, firearms and cyber. He has taken this expertise in intelligence and tackling criminality into SynMax as CEO.
- Eric Anderson is Synmax’s Chief Technology Officer.
