Context
Economic
90% of world trade is transported by sea
In EU 90% of oil and gas are transported by sea
Illegal Fishing
Only 6% of illegal fishing frauds are detected
88% of fishing stocks in the EU are overexploited
Pollution
30 000 illegal oil spills are estimated every year (EU)
Illegal immigration
55% of illegal border crossing immigration is done by sea (EU)
3000 illegal ''know'' immigrants lost their life at sea every year

Example of rules detection
If a type of vessel has a speed above X then rise alert :
Vessel(?vessel),
OP_Vessel_hasVesselType(?vessel, ?vesselType),
DP_Vessel_hasSpeed(?vessel, ?speedVessel),
DP_Vessel_hasSpeed(?vesselType, ?speedTypeVessel),
greaterThan(?speedTypeVessel, ?speedVessel) ->
OP_Vessel_hasAlert(?vessel, Alert_Speed_HighSpeed)
If a vessel enters in a restricted area then rise alert :
Vessel(?vessel),
DP_Vessel_hasPosition(?vessel, ?position),
DP_Analysis_DataPath(Alert_Area_Restricted, ?geoData),
intersects(?geoData, ?position) ->
OP_Vessel_hasAlert(?vessel, Alert_Area_Restricted)

17. Conclusion
Evolution of the maritime threat needs new Sea border surveilance system
We need maritime expert to design this system
Ontologies can be used to model the expert knowledge
Ontologies and spatial ontologies can be used to analyze abnormal vessel behaviour
