Larak STS transfers

Audit Persian Gulf dark fleet crude transfers with satellite evidence.

When transshipment claims surface off Larak Island, use optical imagery and synthetic aperture radar to confirm vessel proximity and displacement changes.

The problem

Shadow fleet transshipment is obscured by dark AIS signals.

  1. Transponders go dark.

    Crude tankers operating in Persian Gulf anchorages routinely disable AIS transponders or spoof location coordinates during ship-to-ship transfers.

  2. Institutional tools remain out of reach.

    Large institutional trading desks purchase costly commercial platforms like SpaceKnow or Ursa Space, leaving DIY investors reliant on free maps with dated imagery.

  3. Shipping reports arrive late.

    By the time official export prints or trade publications catalogue transshipment volumes, the oil has already moved downstream.

Aureum's solution

Direct satellite audit of Larak Island anchorage zones.

  1. Cross-examine dark vessels with radar.

    Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar penetrates cloud cover and darkness to detect vessel hulls side-by-side regardless of AIS status.

  2. Measure displacement through optical observations.

    Metre-class optical imagery from Sentinel-2 and Landsat captures waterlines and vessel draft changes before and after transshipment.

  3. Follow Persian Gulf shipping lanes on Track.

    Maintain persistent awareness of nearby chokepoints by following hand-built boards like Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb.

How it works

Confirm off-market crude transfers in three steps.

  1. Query the anchorage.

    Ask Aureum Query to inspect the waters surrounding Larak Island for specific vessel pairings or recent ship-to-ship activity.

  2. Analyse imagery and radar evidence.

    Examine combined optical scenes and SAR radar returns showing vessel positioning, booms, and relative draft changes.

  3. Follow regional energy choke points.

    Follow existing KPI boards for adjacent transit corridors to stay informed when new satellite coverage lands.
