Customs Workshop: The Future of AI-Driven Maritime Enforcement

Sophisticated smuggling networks are outpacing conventional screening. The agencies closing that gap aren't working harder, they're working with better technology.

Join Windward and customs and maritime enforcement professionals from across Europe for a full-day, hands-on workshop. Your team leaves with practical experience operating Maritime AI™ and a clear methodology for applying predictive intelligence to real enforcement challenges.

On the agenda:

• The threat landscape: The narcotics and weapons smuggling environment facing sovereign nations today, including the latest intelligence, trends, and emerging threats.
• Meeting the challenge: Former MAOC (N) Senior Intelligence Analyst Manuel M.B. Assis Teixeira examines evolving criminal methodologies, the countermeasures being deployed, and where capability gaps continue to hinder enforcement efforts, illustrated through a real-world case study.
• The Arconian seizure: A deep dive into how Windward identified the vessel four months before its interception through indicators such as dark activity, identity tampering, and abnormal routing. And how the same behavioral signature was later used to uncover additional vessels linked to the network.
• Windward for Customs live demo: A walkthrough of Windward's search, alerting, investigative, and document validation capabilities, along with a preview of upcoming innovations, including the Container Risk Dashboard.
• The Russian shadow fleet and EU sanctions: Michelle Wiese Bockmann explores shadow fleet operations, false flag practices, GPS jamming, military-affiliated vessels, and the growing pattern of near-misses, interdictions, and detentions reshaping sanctions enforcement.
