Continuing high levels of risk in the Persian Gulf have prompted NorthStandard to add an ‘Iran Conflict layer’ to its GlobeView platform to update users on the still evolving threats to the safety and security of shipping in the region.
Bringing together existing data and intelligence-based insights in a single, intuitive overview, the new layer enables Members and correspondents to evaluate operational risks and access relevant guidance without needing to search across multiple sources.
When activated, the layer displays Risk Intelligence threat assessments and maritime incident data covering the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean maritime zones, as well as neighbouring countries. It also offers port assessments across regional hubs, Iran-conflict related updates, articles and latest guidance from NorthStandard, and correspondent contacts at key locations.
Users also gain direct access to updates from trusted external sources and listed correspondents, offering timely insights into port operations and regional developments.
“The announcement of a ceasefire on 8th April has increased expectations that the Iran conflict may be addressed through diplomatic channels, although conditions in the Gulf are likely to remain uncertain for some time,” said Colin Gillespie, Global Head of Loss Prevention, NorthStandard. “It is important that our Members have access to timely updates on a rapidly changing situation. Our new Iran Conflict layer consolidates information and expertise already available across GlobeView and our website into a single, focused overview, and provides a foundation for incorporating additional datasets and functionality over time.”
The Iran Conflict layer is now live and available to NorthStandard Members and correspondents via the GlobeView platform.
