Global Maritime Data Coverage, The Industry Booster

For these organizations, one of their main goals, is to facilitate international maritime trade, introducing several measures and regulations to remove or reduce customs barriers and to connect and unify, the maritime industry. 

In a wide range, these regulations on maritime activities, have contributed and promoted to increase the marine trade between entities, countries, and continents, as well as, the promotion of maritime security, and setting standards for marine safety.

As a result, raising the Maritime Industry to provide 80% of the global trade nowadays. 

AIS Automatic Identification System

As a result of maritime regulations, thanks to the Marine Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), The Automatic Identification System (AIS) surges, and rapidly, becomes mandatory for all vessels.

AIS is a digital, terrestrial, and automatic data exchange system, for Active and Idle Ships.

In the beginning, the maritime data gathered from AIS stations, was mostly used by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and also used by coastal, and other stations as collision avoidance.

As a result, AIS technology has been improving the safety and efficiency of navigation, environmental safety and sustainability, making marine traffic and coastal locations, being constantly monitored and analysed.

In conclusion, the obtained results have shown, that incorporating prediction into daily terminal operation planning, improved the performance of daily terminal operations.

In conclusion, precise ETA and possible delays predictions are crucial for effective short and mid-term business planning and development. The relevant real-time marine data, together with the historical maritime data from AIS sources are constantly being incorporated into the decision-making process. As mentioned before, from Datalastic we’ve got you covered!

In addition, having access to and analysing global maritime real-time and historical data, enables you to develop new Maritime Data Insights, with new patterns that you can use the advantage of. These Maritime Data Insights are translated, into more accurate and profitable maritime operations.

Global Maritime Data Coverage Insights, that combined with, different data sources and its deeper analysis, leads to a major understanding of the Global Maritime Industry, bringing to you the possibility of covering mostly all your data needs.

These services are an adaptive and dynamic source, that facilitates ports and organizations, the possibility of planning and operations. As it has been presented, port congestion and maritime operations have been suffering a major improvement. 

To sum up, enhanced monitoring, planning and decision-making process improvements mirror the service reliability. Using, historical and real-time AIS data, combined with business strategies, should trigger upwards the efficiency and controlled services. 

We provide an accurate real-time maritime data API with global coverage, stored in our empowered marine database. Along with, Datalastic’s Historical Data API and Static Maritime Data, movements of cargo ships, locations, speed, Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) & more, are constantly being monitored.

With Datalastic’s REST API Platform, you have open access to global information coverage that gets updated almost every minute, with the possibility of adding your customised parameters to withdraw organised and clean data from multiple endpoints. 

The specific data that you are looking to obtain from a database.

Article Conclusion

Combining real-time and historical AIS global maritime data, with other sources such as meteorological data, enables further development and implementation of better predictive models.

Visibility and sharing verified information throughout the whole supply chain, opens the possibility for integrated and dynamic cargo operations.

Further improvements in the Maritime Industry should focus on, the implementation of AIS technology into a deeper role for the globalization process, to enhance dynamic & static maritime transport.
