Scenario Details
• Location:– South / Pacific Ocean approach to Panama
Canal Zone.– Transition to North / Atlantic Panama Canal.
• Objectives:– Confirm all known targets from AIS reporting– Acquire targets (High Interest Vessel) whose
AIS reporting does not match the vessel.

Scenario Sequence
• GEOEYE Event:– Satellite Acquisition of South/Pacific approach
to Canal Zone.
• Lloyds-Register/Fairplay Event:– AIS acquisition for Canal Zone– Transmission of AIS records to GEOEYE
• Combined Event:– Analysis of known targets against LRF Vessel
and Ownership Databases– Look for Vessels not reporting as themselves;
known as “spoofing” and against USCG laws.

Conclusions?
• We can locate vessels using 82-cm color commercial satellites (41-cm in 2008).
• We can identify ships from their AIS reporting and locate complete details in Lloyds-Register/Fairplay databases.
• We can identify Vessels whose reporting does not match their registration.
• We can identify Vessels that are not producing AIS reporting at all
