Verify your AIS Feed with Reality at Sea Level
Lighthouse View combines AIS data with automated shore-side camera captures worldwide — giving you visual proof of vessel movements, not just transmitted signals.
Globe-Spanning Network
With sensors on four continents spanning major chokepoints, ports, and waterways we check-in hundreds of vessels every day.
Multiple AIS Sources
We are correlating data from satellite, terrestrial, and shipborne AIS sources from multiple providers for optimal coverage.
Searchable Database
Query vessels by IMO, MMSI, or name. Retrieve historical captures with AIS reports, timestamps, coordinates, and visual proof.
Real-Time Alerts
Get notified immediately when selected vessels are captured on camera. Or subscribe to automatically updated sanction lists.
Seamless Integration
Use Lighthouse View data in your own systems via our developer-friendly REST APIs.
Bring Your Own Sensor
Securely integrate your existing camera feeds into our network to profit from the same enrichment processes.
Sanctions Enforcement
Collect evidence on vessels evading sanctions through AIS spoofing, flag swaps, or dark voyages.
Insurance Verification
Confirm historical vessel locations and movements for comprehensive maritime risk assessment.
Trade Intelligence
Track real-time commodity flows through critical maritime chokepoints with visual confirmation.
The Curious Case of Tanker X
In this Lighthouse View case study from early 2025, we examine a mismatch between reported AIS data and physical reality. By syncing AIS static voyage reports with real-time imagery captured just minutes apart, we reveal how AIS signals alone don't always give you the full story. Note: Vessel identifiers have been manually removed.
Check-In 1: A fully laden Tanker X
Tanker X is observed transiting the Bosphorus westbound. It is fully laden, with its latest AIS broadcast reporting a static draught of 13.6m.
Check-In 2: Tanker X returning in ballast
Now sailing eastbound, Tanker X is traveling in ballast. The high freeboard is clearly visible, and the AIS data confirms a reduced static draught of 9.0m.
Check-In 3: The Mismatch
