Vessel tracking data and trading history, satellite imagery, sanction lists and OSINT comprise some of the data sources which, when combined efficiently, provide an understanding of events that take place at ports and in open seas. Rapidly evolving global geopolitical developments and tensions greatly affect trading, disturbing the supply chain and altering the patterns of shipping activity. • As a senior data scientist with Kpler’s risk and compliance team you will develop algorithms that will detect deviations from normal maritime activity and will discriminate trivial abnormalities from those that imply deceptive shipping practices. This venture requires dealing with high volumes of dispersed and often highly imbalanced data.
