The maritime sector plays a fundamental role in life on Earth, accounting for 95% of global trade, a vital source of food and energy and home to multiple delicate ecosystems. Protecting this important resource is a high priority. 

The sector faces many environmental challenges, leading to a push for greener practices and technologies. Geopolitical issues such as illegal migration, border security, and piracy also demand attention. To tackle these challenges, the industry increasingly relies on space-based services for timely and cost-effective solutions.
