PierSight is creating a persistent and dynamic view of all human activity at sea. This will be powered by a constellation of Synthetic Aperture Radar satellites, which enable precise tracking of each and every marine asset. Our solutions will serve shipping, insurance, defense, coastguard, oil & gas, and other organizations that rely on maritime intelligence.

From being on a panel together to partnering on a shared vision, we couldn’t be happier to bring persistent monitoring to Pinpoint Earth's maritime solutions. As Pinpoint Earth’s CEO Ali Kennard said: "We're trying to leave behind something better than we find it today, for future generations.” By combining PierSight’s persistent ocean monitoring via a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging and AIS satellite constellation with Pinpoint Earth’s solar-powered, high-precision geolocation services, we are enabling governments and regulators to gain a full picture of what’s happening in their waters and drive real change in the fight against illegal fishing. Together, we’re building a more sustainable future for our oceans! Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gMSWZiFK

The White House released a Joint Fact Sheet during Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit. The INDUS-X challenge, for which PierSight was an awardee, got a mention. In February, we were the only team to win both the U.S. and India challenges for Oil Spill Detection leading to a POC with coastguards of both countries. Our award-winning solution proposed multi-sensor satellite imagery and AI/ML algorithms for detection, characterization, and monitoring of oil spills with unparalleled accuracy and speed.
