Ship Monitor by JDS - Offshore Wind

Clouds and fog block the base and lower-half of an offshore wind turbine.

Offshore Wind & Critical Infrastructure

As wind farms, subsea cables, and critical maritime assets expand across the world’s oceans, visibility becomes mission-critical. AIS data provides the foundational layer of maritime awareness, helping operators, governments, and partners safeguard vital infrastructure and ensure safe, compliant marine operations.

Offshore Wind Park Operations

Here’s how our  AIS data can help.

See what’s happening around your assets, above and below the surface. AIS data from Ship Monitor by JDS delivers real-time vessel tracking around offshore wind farms, pipelines, and restricted zones, giving operators early warnings of encroachments, route deviations, and potential safety risks. Integrated with GIS and surveillance systems, it creates a unified operational picture of offshore activity.

Benefits

Benefits for Offshore Operators and Security Teams

Use high-quality AIS to safeguard offshore wind farms: track every vessel around turbines and cables, enforce exclusion zones, coordinate construction and O&M logistics, and maintain defensible, time-stamped records for compliance, audits, and incident responses.

Monitor and alert on vessel activity within exclusion zones

Continuously track AIS data to spot incursions, trigger real-time alerts, and visualize movements inside geofenced exclusion zones, minimizing downtime and safeguarding offshore wind operations.

Detect unauthorized approaches or anchor drops near sensitive assets

Fuse AIS, radar tracks, and seabed depth to automatically flag suspicious approaches or anchoring, sending location-precise alerts before damage occurs to cables, substations, or turbines.

Support safe construction, maintenance, and logistics coordination

Provide shared situational awareness for crews and contractors, optimize routes and ETAs, and coordinate transfers and guard vessels to reduce collision risk and construction delays.

Integrate AIS with radar, sonar, and GIS systems for layered awareness

Unify AIS, radar, sonar, and bathymetry within GIS dashboards, enabling cross-sensor validation, blind-spot reduction, and high-confidence tracking in challenging sea states and cluttered environments.

Strengthen compliance, audit trails, and incident investigation with verified vessel records

Capture tamper-evident logs of positions and guard-zone breaches, producing defensible audit trails for regulators, insurers, and stakeholders, and accelerating root-cause investigations after incidents.
