Pole Star Global extends ISO 9001:2015 certification across its core maritime intelligence service portfolio

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Pole Star Space Applications, trading as Pole Star Global, has completed its ISO 9001:2015 re-certification with a scope that now covers the company’s maritime domain awareness, fleet monitoring and compliance screening services alongside its long-established LRIT conformance testing work.

As issued, the certificate scope covers the provision of LRIT Conformance Testing and Certification Solutions; Maritime Domain Awareness, National Maritime Data Centre Technology and Operation Support Services; Vessel Fleet Monitoring, Voyage Analytics and Performance Monitoring Services; and Maritime Compliance, Risk Screening and Sanctions Management Services. The company also holds ISO 27001:2022 certification for information security management, which means the governments, flag administrations, shipowners and financial institutions that rely on its data can see both how the work is managed and how the information behind it is protected.

Quality management certification has been held continuously since 2009, and it has been maintained without interruption since Pole Star Global acquired the business, through successive revisions of the standard and a considerable widening of what the company does.

That continuity matters to customers such as Flag states, who depend on accurate LRIT data to meet their obligations under SOLAS, national maritime data centres who need operational support they can audit, and compliance teams screening vessels against sanctions lists who, in turn, need confidence that the process producing a result is as consistent as the result itself.

Published in October 2026, the company’s updated Quality Policy applies across the full scope of services and commits Pole Star Global to the continual improvement of its quality management system. In practice, that means quality objectives are set every year and reviewed by management, regular management reviews assess performance and the actions that follow from it, internal audits check that processes operate as intended, and customer feedback is gathered and fed back into how services are delivered.

Robert Skea, CEO, Pole Star Global, said: “Our customers rely on Pole Star Global to support decisions with real operational, regulatory and security consequences. Extending ISO 9001 certification across our core services demonstrates our commitment to consistent quality, clear accountability and continuous improvement—and gives customers added confidence in the services we deliver.”

Katie Derbyshire, Account Manager, ISO Quality Services Ltd, said: “We’ve been supporting Pole Star Global with its ISO certifications for nearly eight years, so it’s fantastic to see how its management systems have continued to develop alongside the business. It’s a real pleasure to be part of Pole Star Global’s ongoing ISO certification journey, and we’re delighted to continue supporting the team.”

Customers can request copies of the certificates through their usual Pole Star Global contact, and the company will continue to hold its quality and information security management systems to these international standards as its services develop.
