Wood Mackenzie, the global leader in data and analytics for renewables, energy, and natural resources, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Kinéis, Europe's leading satellite AIS (S-AIS) provider. This collaboration will integrate Kinéis' high-performance satellite AIS data into Wood Mackenzie's vesseltracker.com platform and our AIS data feed offerings, delivering enhanced maritime intelligence to clients across the Maritime and Commodity Analytics sectors.
At a time of significant industry consolidation, this partnership introduces an innovative new player to the market. Kinéis offers a differentiated solution built on a 25-satellite constellation that delivers superior performance in congested maritime zones—including the Gulf of Mexico, Suez Canal, and Persian Gulf—through advanced multi-beam antenna technology.
By combining Kinéis' cutting-edge S-AIS capabilities with Wood Mackenzie's existing AIS infrastructure, vesseltracker.com will provide clients with industry-leading global coverage and real-time vessel tracking—even in the most remote areas of the ocean. This enhanced intelligence empowers better decision-making in supply chain optimization, risk management, and maritime surveillance.
"We're thrilled to partner with the Kinéis team on this exciting venture," said Dallas Smith, SVP Maritime at Wood Mackenzie. "By integrating Kinéis' high-performance S-AIS data with our existing AIS capabilities, we're ensuring that Wood Mackenzie's vesseltracker.com delivers industry-leading intelligence—empowering our clients in the Maritime and Commodity Analytics sectors with the insights they require to make better decisions."
This partnership reinforces Wood Mackenzie's commitment to providing clients with best-in-class data, technology, and insights across the global energy and maritime landscape.
