Through two framework contracts, the Company
will continue to deliver global and real-time satellite AIS data
for vessels tracking
Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or “the Company”), a
leading global provider of space-based data, analytics and space
services, has been awarded two framework contracts by the European
Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) with a maximum overall budget of €8.4
million. Concurrent with the framework award, Spire received two
specific awards that total multi-million euros under the framework
contracts. Under the contracts, Spire will provide space-based
automatic identification system (SAT-AIS) data services for ship
tracking over a four-year period, including real-time, standard and
high-density backup SAT-AIS. Spire has provided satellite AIS data
to EMSA since 2020.
The data will be integrated into EMSA’s SAT-AIS services, which
aims to improve global vessel traffic monitoring with a focus on
areas like polar regions where terrestrial AIS network coverage is
limited. EMSA’s SAT-AIS data services play a critical role in
monitoring vessel traffic by acquiring data beyond the reach of
terrestrial AIS network coverage to facilitate worldwide vessel
monitoring. Spire’s data will play a key role in enhancing global
vessel tracking and maritime domain awareness, supporting EMSA’s
mission.
“Ensuring accurate vessel monitoring is vital for maritime
safety, security, and global environmental protection,” said John
Lusk, general manager of maritime, Spire. “At Spire, we believe our
commitment to high reliability and superior data quality sets us
apart in the industry, and we are thrilled that our dedicated
efforts will not only support EMSA’s vision but also play a
significant role in advancing maritime safety within the EU and
beyond.”
Spire’s data shared with EMSA will also benefit EU and European
Free Trade Association Member States authorities, EU institutions
and international operational entities collaborating with the
agency.
