# ICEYE Maritime Monitoring
*data products*

## Specifications
- **level**: L4
- **distributor**: iceye
- **file format**: Actionable SAR-derived maritime intelligence; public pages describe detections, monitoring outputs, and application studies rather than an open file specification
- **access endpoint**: https://www.iceye.com/sar-data/use-cases/maritime-domain-awareness
- **access model**: commercial
- **licence**: Proprietary
- **cost model summary**: Commercial monitoring and SAR data service via direct ICEYE engagement
- **primary data portal url**: https://www.iceye.com/sar-data/use-cases/maritime-domain-awareness
- **use cases**: ["Dark vessel detection using SAR and AIS comparison","Exclusive Economic Zone monitoring","Ship-to-ship transfer and smuggling detection","Port activity monitoring","Oil spill detection and response monitoring"]
- **practical limitations**: ["Public pages do not publish detection probability, false alarm rates, vessel-size thresholds, or AIS fusion algorithms","Oil-spill pages describe dark-water slick interpretation but do not provide a public validation protocol","Commercial access and monitoring cadence are customer-specific"]
- **known artefacts**: ["SAR dark slicks can indicate oil but public material does not distinguish look-alikes such as low wind or biogenic films"]
- **deployment context**: orbital
- **entity type**: data_product
- **last verified date**: 2026-05-25
- **verified by**: operator
- **claim status**: unclaimed

## Editorial
ICEYE Maritime Monitoring is a commercial L4 SAR-derived maritime intelligence product for maritime domain awareness, Exclusive Economic Zone monitoring, port activity monitoring, ship-to-ship transfer detection, smuggling detection, and oil-spill monitoring.[^iceye-maritime-domain-awareness][^iceye-oil-spills][^iceye-port-monitoring]

It supports dark-vessel workflows by comparing SAR vessel detections with AIS context and supports oil-spill response through dark-water slick detection in SAR imagery.[^iceye-maritime-domain-awareness][^iceye-oil-spills]

The service is available through direct ICEYE commercial engagement, with monitoring cadence and customer access handled through customer-specific service terms.[^iceye-maritime-domain-awareness]

The product uses SAR ship detection, SAR oil-spill detection, and AIS-SAR data fusion methodologies.[^iceye-maritime-domain-awareness][^iceye-oil-spills]

Oil-spill monitoring supports response teams with SAR-based detection of possible spills and monitoring information during maritime incidents.[^iceye-oil-spills]
