The Challenge

Maritime incident data is heterogeneous, high-volume, and temporally sparse — combining AIS vessel tracking, incident reports, and regulatory records across 171,750 events. The goal was to build a unified intelligent platform capable of predictive incident management, early warning, and real-time risk prioritisation.

Next.js Interactive Dashboard

The platform ships with an interactive Next.js dashboard for real-time incident exploration, geographic hotspot visualisation, and action prioritisation. Incidents are classified across severity levels P0–P4, enabling responders to triage critical events instantly.
