Originally developed for collision avoidance between ships, AIS has become the foundation of global vessel tracking, port management, maritime surveillance, and maritime data services.<\/p>\n

AIS operates on VHF radio frequencies. Class A transponders are mandatory on SOLAS vessels (cargo ships over 300 GT on international voyages and all passenger vessels), while Class B transponders are used by smaller vessels. Shore-based AIS receivers collect transmissions from vessels within radio range; satellite AIS (S-AIS) extends coverage to open ocean areas beyond shore receiver range.<\/p>\n

What AIS data is transmitted?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every AIS transmission includes the vessel\u2019s MMSI number (a unique maritime identity), vessel name and call sign, vessel type and dimensions, current position (latitude and longitude), speed over ground, course over ground, heading, navigational status, and timestamp. This data is transmitted every 2\u201310 seconds for vessels underway and every 3 minutes for vessels at anchor.<\/p>\n

It is a transponder technology used by vessels to automatically broadcast their identity, position, speed, course, and other navigational data. AIS was developed for collision avoidance between ships and is now mandatory on all SOLAS vessels (cargo vessels over 300 GT on international voyages and passenger vessels of all sizes). AIS data is also collected by shore-based networks and used for vessel tracking, port management, maritime surveillance, and maritime data services.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][custom_toggle_item title=”How does AIS vessel tracking work?” before_title=”02″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]AIS transponders aboard vessels broadcast position and identity data on VHF radio frequencies at regular intervals (every 2\u201310 seconds for vessels underway). Shore-based AIS receiver networks collect these transmissions from vessels within radio range. Satellite AIS (S-AIS) receivers extend coverage to open ocean areas. Data from multiple receivers is aggregated, deduplicated, and delivered as a real-time vessel tracking feed. MSG\u2019s AIS network has been collecting and archiving this data since 2004, creating one of the world\u2019s most comprehensive historical AIS databases.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][custom_toggle_item title=”What is an AIS-dark vessel?” before_title=”03″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]An AIS-dark vessel is one that is not transmitting a detectable AIS signal, either because it has disabled its transponder, is spoofing its position, or is a vessel not legally required to carry AIS. AIS-dark vessel detection requires fusing AIS data with radar and other sensor data to identify vessels that appear on radar but have no corresponding AIS transmission. This is a core capability of Tidalis\u2019s CoastControl maritime domain awareness platform, which integrates AIS data from MSG\u2019s network with radar and CCTV for complete situational awareness.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][custom_toggle_item title=”What is historical AIS data used for?” before_title=”04″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Historical AIS data is used for voyage reconstruction in marine incident investigations, vessel behaviour analysis for insurance underwriting and claims, port traffic analysis and capacity planning, fleet performance monitoring and fuel optimisation, sanctions and compliance monitoring, and environmental impact assessment.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][custom_toggle_item title=”Can AIS data support FuelEU Maritime compliance?” before_title=”05″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Yes. FuelEU Maritime (effective January 2025) requires shipping companies to monitor and report the greenhouse gas intensity of the energy used on board their vessels. Accurate voyage data such as distance, speed, port calls, and port time is essential for FuelEU calculations. MSG\u2019s AIS data platform provides the voyage-level data required, and can be integrated with emissions calculation tools to support FuelEU Maritime compliance reporting and CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator) monitoring.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][\/custom_toggle_group][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_image=”469″ bg_image_type=”default” background_image_mobile_hidden=”true” bg_position=”right center” background_image_loading=”default” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50px” bottom_padding=”0″ top_margin=”50px” bottom_margin=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” class=”background-image-cta” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column top_padding_desktop=”40px” constrain_group_100=”yes” bottom_padding_desktop=”40px” left_padding_desktop=”40px” constrain_group_101=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”40px” translate_x_tablet=”0″ flex_gap_desktop=”10px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#0B0B0B” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” font_color=”#FFFFFF” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” zindex=”999″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” content_layout=”flexbox” gradient_type=”default” flex_layout_desktop=”column” flex_justify_content_desktop=”center” flex_align_items_desktop=”flex-start” flex_align_items_phone=”” flex_wrap_desktop=”nowrap” flex_reverse_desktop=”false”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
