Strategic Data for Safer Seas and Sustainable Oceans

Oil spills, illegal fishing, human trafficking, drug smuggling, illegal timber trade, terrorism, piracy, and armed robbery at sea occur daily.

Maritime surveillance aims to understand, prevent when possible, and manage all events and actions in maritime domains that could affect the safety and security of people and property, law enforcement at sea, defense, border control, marine environmental protection, fisheries control, and the economic interests of states.

In 2024, CLS acquired Quiet-Oceans, an expert in underwater noise measurement and mitigation, to provide shipping stakeholders with comprehensive support for new international acoustic standards.

CLS also offers a turnkey compliance solution for the Ship Security Alert System (SSAS), aligned with the SOLAS convention. This solution enhances fleet safety through beacons, alert management platforms, and custom services against growing maritime threats.
