Inmarsat launches maritime safety data hub combining GMDSS distress and weather data

Inmarsat released an industry-first analysis merging three years of GMDSS distress calls with nearly 107,000 maritime safety broadcasts, offering new insights into how extreme weather, operational pressures, and geopolitical disruption drive maritime risk. The data hub is a novel analytical tool, though its immediate operational or market impact is unclear. It matters as it could improve maritime safety and risk assessment for insurers and operators.
