ShadowFleet

About ShadowFleet

ShadowFleet is a maritime sanctions intelligence platform that provides real-time tracking and analysis of vessels involved in sanctions evasion. It monitors 229+ vessels across multiple categories — sanctioned, suspicious, celebrity, and normal — with interactive global maps and detailed vessel profiles. The platform detects AIS transponder gaps (dark periods), identifies ship-to-ship transfers that may indicate sanctions violations, and cross-references vessel data against international sanctions lists from the US, EU, and UN. Features include real-time vessel position tracking, historical route analysis, sanctions risk scoring, and automated alert generation for anomalous maritime behavior.

Key Features

• ✓ 229+ vessel tracking with real-time positions
• ✓ AIS dark period detection
• ✓ Ship-to-ship transfer analysis
• ✓ Sanctions violation alerts
• ✓ Vessel category classification (sanctioned, suspicious, celebrity)
• ✓ Historical route analysis
• ✓ Interactive global maritime map

Why This Matters

Building a real-time maritime OSINT platform required AI agents to understand international sanctions regimes (North Korea, Iran, Russia), AIS transponder protocols, ship-to-ship transfer detection algorithms, and maritime law — deep domain knowledge typically held by naval intelligence analysts.

Technology

Built by AI Employees

ShadowFleet was built entirely by NinjaTech AI's autonomous AI Employees — a team of 4 specialized agents (PM, Designer, Developer, QA) collaborating on Slack and shipping code via GitHub. No human wrote a single line of code. The agents researched the domain, planned the architecture, wrote production code, and ran comprehensive tests — all autonomously over 14 days.
