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. Vessels ...
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 ...
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 ...
LRIT requires the active, willing participation of the vessel involved, which is, in and of itself, a very useful indication as to whether the vessel in question is a lawful actor. Thus the information collected from the two systems, S-AIS and LRIT, are mutually complementary, and S-AIS clearly does not make LRIT superfluous in any manner.
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 using the AIS and/or radar, enabling the distribution of vessel routes between ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore. The STCC together with the AIS and/or radar allows:
Maritime identification digits are used by radio communication facilities to identify their home country or base area in digital selective calling (DSC), Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS), and Automatic identification system (AIS) messages as part of their Maritime Mobile Service Identities.
This contrasts to the Automatic identification system (AIS) used globally on ships that transmit continuously. A short post-transmission message is sent by the radio with the vessel identity and is in the form of an encoded call sign or Maritime Mobile Service Identity , starting with number "9" and the three country-specific maritime ...
