Aunque las naves han navegado los océanos por milenios, recientemente se volvió literalmente imposible encontrar la ubicación de una embarcación una vez que se aleja del rango del radar, es decir, aproximadamente a 30 millas de la costa.
Luego, los satélites comerciales se volvieron accesibles.
Ahora las embarcaciones pueden transmitir su ubicación y destino a los satélites a través del sistema AIS, y lograr que las embarcaciones alejadas de las costas fueran visibles por primera vez.
But this new, massive data has had two very significant unintended consequences:
Explosión de la información:
The amount of data collected on ships each day – hundreds of millions of data points - amounts to Maritime Big Data
Datos poco claros:
la información es muy poco confiable y manipulada intencionalmente.
Por lo que en el 2010 se produjo otro momento clave:
el hallazgo de Windward.
We bring data sciences, powered by a deep understanding of the shipping domain, to the oceans. The Windward Mind is the only place in the world that aggregates and analyzes all maritime data and provides an accurate and actionable picture of what’s happening at sea and provide our customers with real visibility into what’s at stake for them at sea, whether they are tracking single ships or global financial trade patterns.
There is an ocean of maritime data. Windward is making sense of that ocean.
The Go-To Source of Maritime Data and Analytics.

Windward’s secret sauce: our team
Un principio central de Windward es que nuestros clientes sean tan buenos como la información sobre la que ellos se basan. El otro principio es que nosotros seamos tan buenos como la gente en la que nosotros nos basamos.
Nuestro equipo está compuesto por pensadores inteligentes, curiosos, creativos y poco tradicionales. Nuestro ambiente de trabajo es acelerado, colaborativo y, con frecuencia, muy divertido. Todo el mundo necesita un trabajo, pero lo que la gente ama de trabajar en Windward es resolver enigmas intelectualmente, ser parte de un equipo que une sus fuerzas para resolver un problema real, mundial y global: comprender qué sucede en el mar.

Our team brings its expertise, coriosity and desire to charter new waters, pun intended, to a little-understood but hugely important global challenge: understanding ship activity worldwide. Our work deals with real-world challenges and directly impacts decision makers across industries, with a focus on Intelligence and Finance.
windward is only as good as its people, so we are always looking for good people
Windward is a data and analytics company, bringing unprecedented visibility to the maritime domain.We have built the world’s first maritime data platform, the Windward Mind, which analyzes and organizes the world’s maritime data,making the data accessible and actionable across verticals.
¿Por qué Windward?
Conocer qué sucede en el mar -tanto para realizar el seguimiento de un envío como para comprender los flujos comerciales de ciertos bienes- es esencial para que las industrias tomen sus decisiones. Sin embargo, a pesar de las enormes cantidades de dinero involucradasen este negocio, la información sobre esta actividad es siempre opaca, poco confiable y fragmentada. Pareciera serelsalvaje lejano oeste.
We believe that our customers have the right to know what’s at stake for them at sea - from revealing the real identity and destination of a single ship to uncovering global trading patterns – and we are empowering them with the data and insights they need to solve problems, make decisions and monetize their interests at sea.
Bienvenido a su océano, ahora, claro.
El objetivo deWindward
Windward fue fundado bajo una sola premisa:
Bienvenido a su océano, ahora, claro.
El desafío:
With over 90% of the world’s trade transported over the oceans, data on ship activity is critical to decision makers across industries. But despite the huge stakes at sea, there is no visibility on ship activity worldwide: the data is massive, with hundreds of millions of data points per day, fragmented, and often intentionally manipulated. The oceans are the last analog market and the world’s missing data link.
La solución:
The Windward Mind is the only platform in the world that aggregates, analyzes and vets all maritime data, globally 24/7. The Windward Mind then takes the data and creates a unique Vessel Story on each ship worldwide, a complete history of each ship’s activities over time.
The Windward Mind is a powerful marriage of two very different, but highly complementary, perspectives:
BIG DATA
algoritmos analíticos de última generación que se fusionan y se convierten en datos que validan cibernéticamente la información y corrigen cualquier tipo de piratería o manipulación, y una
VASTA EXPERIENCIA EN ENTREGAS
una disciplina mantenida por años que nos permite fortalecer nuestros algoritmos y comprender en detalle el comportamiento de las embarcaciones y de los patrones de transportación regionales y globales.
This unique combination of old school shipping expertise with cutting edge data analytics is at the heart of the Windward Mind.
EL RESULTADO:
visibilidad sin precedentes de lo que USTED arriesga mientras cruza el océano.
Inteligencia
Find Tomorrow’s Threat, Today
La Inteligencia de Windward está transformando el lejano oeste de la actividad de las embarcaciones en un lugar de inteligencia preciso y accionable. Nuestros clientes de inteligencia -agencias de inteligencia, seguridad y cumplimiento de leyes- reciben alertas en tiempo realque les permite anticipar y responder proactivamente a las amenazas cerca de sus costas, gracias a las herramientas de investigación profundacon las que cuentan y su capacidad de predicción.

Knowing what’s truly at sea
Inteligencia
Security agencies worldwide are facing an extraordinary challenge: the oceans are teeming with activity – resulting in hundreds of millions of data points per day - and ships bearing criminal, terrorist or military-related threats can originate anywhere in the world.
However, all of this data is reliant on human input with no vetting mechanism to ensure the data is accurate. An honors system might work in some domains, but with the huge security and financial impact of ship and cargo movements worldwide, expecting this data to be reliable when taken ‘as is’ seems, from an Intelligence perspective, a bit naïve.
Windward Intelligence was developed to address these specific challenges. The first to bring Activity-Based Intelligence to the maritime domain, we are transforming the ‘wild west’ of vessel activity into accurate and actionable intelligence. Our Intelligence customers – navies, coast guards, intelligence communities, security and law enforcement agencies – benefit from a unique Early Warning System and a deep Target Discovery System, based on the analysis of actual ship behavior worldwide, which provide the insights and alerts key to finding tomorrow’s threat today, buying critical time to prepare and take action.
Early Warning
The Early Warning System strengthens maritime control by bringing instant awareness to vessels and events that are of interest to you. The Early Warning System delivers real-time alerts on ships that match what you care about – based on your risk indicators and behavior patterns of interest - and gives you the flexibility to modify the alerts to meet your changing maritime challenges and concepts of operation.
Target Discovery
The Target Discovery System supports deep intelligence analysis by revealing unknown targets, with or without any prior intelligence. The Target Discovery System automatically flags ships that deviate from their behavioral profile, which suggests a possible new threat, and allows for closer investigation. It also provides analysts with the tools to identify targets and incriminate vessels by investigating behavior patterns, vessel networks and suspicious events.

But there is a serious problem with today’s data: it is largely reliant on self reporting, opening the door to rampant hacking and manipulation.
If you stop to think about it, you realize something quite staggering: Huge financial decisions are made every day, unknowingly and unwittingly, based on flawed, and often intentionally manipulated, data.
This is why Windward’s technology is a game changer: We employ cyber countermeasures to validate and correct all data and create a Vessel Story on each ship worldwide based on its actual (vs. reported) behavior, allowing us to quickly identify who is ‘bluffing,’ which ships are displaying uneconomic behavior, and what the real global and regional trends are. The result: giving traders, investors and analysts access to a gold mine of untapped market opportunities.
