Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is

In the 7 days to 8 October 2026, 329 events of this kind were reported worldwide and placed on the Delta Watchfloor. This page counts one category: naval, shipping or port activity at sea or in harbour, including vessels in distress. Every event shows three things: the reports behind it, how precisely it is located, and whether it could be seen from orbit.

What This Page Counts

This page counts one category: naval, shipping or port activity at sea or in harbour, including vessels in distress.

Looking at These Events From Orbit

Radar imagery works day or night and through cloud. On the Map, vessel detection can be run on Sentinel-1 radar over a port or anchorage. See the Sentinel-1 SAR viewer and the Sentinel-2 viewer, or read how the Watchfloor works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this maritime incidents map show?▼
This page counts one category: naval, shipping or port activity at sea or in harbour, including vessels in distress. It covers events reported worldwide in the last 7 days that could be placed on the map.
Where do the events come from?▼
Events are drawn from global news media and official hazard feeds. Reports about the same event are folded into one entry, which shows how many outlets carried it. An event is placed only as precisely as the reporting names the place.
What do the three markers on each event mean?▼
Every event shows three things: the reports behind it, how precisely it is located, and whether it could be seen from orbit. They are shown on every event so you can judge it before opening it.
Is it free?▼
Browsing is free. Without an account you can see the previous day’s top events and every event on the map; a free account opens every event. The real-time view of today, a chosen date range and the full detail of each event are on paid plans — see the pricing page.
