The Razoni, a cargo ship flying the Sierra Leonean flag, was the first ship to depart the port of Odesa on 1st August loaded with 26,000 tonnes of maize. Initially the ship was destined for Tripoli, Lebanon, intended to help alleviate the food crisis currently experienced by the country.
Using acquisitions from our very high resolution Pléiades Neo satellite combined with the Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, we are able to track progress of the ship across open oceans. The Razoni can easily be identified in satellite imagery by the blue and red colour of the ship’s hull, its length and width, as well as the four large white cranes visible on its deck.
With its 30cm resolution highly detailed imagery and multi-revisit capabilities, Pléiades Neo brings a new level of effective maritime surveillance. Pléiades Neo is ideal for maritime security and environmental applications such as identifying illegal activities/routes, trafficking, oil spill monitoring and illegal fishing.
