what happened

Inmarsat Maritime, a Viasat company, launched a Maritime Safety Data Hub built with supply-chain consultancy SeaFocus. The platform analyzes three years of Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) data, including 106,975 safety broadcasts transmitted in 2025, correlating weather hazards, electronic interference such as GPS spoofing and jamming, and geopolitical instability (including disruptions in the Red Sea, sanctions on tanker operations, and Persian Gulf and Black Sea tensions) with distress patterns.

why it matters

The tool turns Inmarsat's own GMDSS safety traffic into a risk-analytics product, a direction connectivity operators are exploring to extract more commercial value from safety-of-life data streams beyond basic distress relay, positioning Inmarsat against dedicated maritime-intelligence platforms.
