The challenge

Why the old way doesn’t scale

Teams are asked to make faster, higher-stakes decisions about places they can’t see often enough.

  • AIS gaps

    Vessels switch off transponders, and coverage is patchy in key regions.

  • Lagging indicators

    Official throughput statistics arrive weeks or months after the fact.

  • Global footprint

    Monitoring hundreds of facilities manually isn’t feasible.

Use cases

What teams do with Lens

Start with a proven workflow, then adapt models, cadences and alerts to your operations.

Models used

  • Vessels v3 (optical + SAR)
  • Containers
  • Vehicles v4
  • Stockpile volume
  • 01

    Port congestion

    Count anchored and berthed vessels to measure waiting times and throughput.

  • 02

    Dark vessel detection

    Match SAR detections against AIS to surface vessels that aren’t broadcasting.

  • 03

    Container & yard utilization

    Estimate container stacks and yard occupancy at terminals and depots.

  • 04

    Facility activity indices

    Track trucks, railcars and stockpiles at factories and mines as economic signals.

“We now see congestion building at transshipment hubs two days before it shows up in our ETAs.”
James AchterbergHead of Network Planning, Bluecoast Logistics
