Windward

Windward is a Maritime AI company headquartered in London and Washington D.C. delivering mission-grade, multi-source maritime intelligence for defense agencies, law enforcement, customs, energy and commodity traders, marine insurers, shippers, and financial institutions. Founded by CEO Ami Daniel, Windward fuses AIS data, remote sensing (EO, SAR, RF GEOINT), proprietary behavioral analytics, and generative AI into a single Maritime AI platform covering vessel screening, ownership and entity resolution, sanctions exposure, deceptive shipping detection, ship-to-ship transfer analysis, IUU fishing detection, smuggling detection, container tracking, and maritime infrastructure protection. Windward exposes its intelligence through the API Insights Lab, a unified GraphQL API at developer.windward.ai providing programmatic access to vessel risk scores, Organization Defined Risk (ODR), ultimate beneficial ownership, early detection signals, tracked shipments, carriers, and detention & demurrage data, along with webhooks and workflow automation. The company has no public REST/OpenAPI surface, no public SDKs, and no public GitHub org — its API is GraphQL-only with managed onboarding and expert-led implementation support.

Windward is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Maritime, Maritime AI, Maritime Domain Awareness, Vessel Intelligence, and Vessel Risk.

Windward’s developer surface includes API reference, engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 17 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/windward-ai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
