MarineTraffic is a maritime analytics provider, [1] which provides real-time information on the movements of ships and the current location of ships in harbors and ports. [2] A database of information on the vessels includes for example details of the location where they were built plus dimensions of the vessels, gross tonnage and International ...
AIS is intended to assist a vessel's watchstanding officers and allow maritime authorities to track and monitor vessel movements. AIS integrates a standardized VHF transceiver with a positioning system such as a Global Positioning System receiver, with other electronic navigation sensors, such as a gyrocompass or rate of turn indicator .
The long-range identification and tracking (LRIT) of ships was established as an international system on 19 May 2006 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as resolution MSC.202 (81). [1] This resolution amends Chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) , regulation 19-1 and binds all governments ...
The global sharing of AIS data among governments through a common, open exchange provides a solid foundation for and a path to greater international trust, cooperation and open dialog and thus, improved stability, security, trade, and environmental stewardship. MSSIS provides participating nations unprecedented access to global shipping ...
A vessel traffic service is a marine traffic monitoring system established by harbour or port authorities, similar to air traffic control for aircraft. The International Maritime Organization defines vessel traffic service as "a service implemented by a competent authority designed to improve the safety and efficiency of vessel traffic and ...
It is the world's largest container shipping company by both fleet size and cargo capacity, [5] controlling 20% of global container capacity as at July 2024. [ 6 ] As of November 2023, MSC operates over 790 container vessels with an intake capacity of 5,505,417 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). [ 7 ]
The ship acquired the missile's bearing signal, and the computer calculated its path relative to the ship's position in real time, thus allowing radar and laser range finders to precisely track its ballistic route. Such also allowed the helicopters to be guided to the expected impact site.
Land areas are shown in yellow, and vessel tracks are displayed with green "tails" on the screen. Marine radar systems can provide very useful radar navigation information for navigators on board ships. The ship's position could be fixed by the bearing and distance information of a fixed, reliable target on the radar screen.
