The automatic identification system (AIS) is an automatic tracking system that uses transceivers on ships and is used by vessel traffic services (VTS). When satellites are used to receive AIS signatures, the term Satellite-AIS (S-AIS) is used.
Information provided by AIS equipment, such as unique identification, position, course, and speed, is then transferred to the main Marine Traffic servers for display via the website in real time. The site uses data from OpenStreetMap on its base map, and the paid version lets users display ship locations on Nautical Charts.
Lloyd's List Intelligence (formerly Lloyd's MIU LLC) is an information service dedicated to the global maritime community. It is a sister company of Lloyd's List. [1]Lloyd's List Intelligence is an interactive online service offering detailed vessel movements, real-time AIS positioning, information on ships, companies, ports and casualties as well as credit reports, industry data and analysis ...
Even though the AIS gives every ship the means to track other ships, they are not able to deduce the intentions of other vessels given only information from the AIS. STM seeks to create an organized traffic management entity called Sea Traffic Coordination Center(STCC) that will act as a central hub maintaining a record of all vessels at sea ...
The ship's current cruise, which left for a planned round-trip sailing from Baltimore on March 24, will end in Norfolk on Sunday. Passengers will then receive free bus rides to Baltimore.
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 ...
The LRIT regulation will apply to the following ship types engaged on international voyages: All passenger ships including high-speed craft, Cargo ships, including high-speed craft of 300 gross tonnage and above, and; Mobile offshore drilling units. These ships must report their position to their flag administration at least four times a day.
The Maritime Monitoring and Messaging Microsatellite (M3MSat) is a tele-detection satellite developed by the Canadian Space Agency and launched in 2016. Its mission is to demonstrate and test the technology to assess the utility of having in space an Automatic Identification System (AIS) for reading signals from vessels to better manage marine transport in Canadian waters.
