Unseenlabs is committed to providing the most complete overview of maritime traffic. Over recent years, we have revolutionized maritime surveillance by providing a new layer of information to maritime stakeholders. Our first goal is to detect radio frequency (RF) signals emitted by ships globally. It allows us to deliver accurate and reliable RF solutions to our customers worldwide (governments, NGOs, shipowners, marine underwriters, etc.) ๐—ข๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐Ÿ“š The company was created in 2015 by the Galic brothers.
