Vessel tracking is the process of monitoring the movement and location of ships, usually in real-time, through the use of various tracking systems and technologies. This capability is critical for multiple reasons, including maritime safety, efficient fleet management, and the security of cargo shipments.
Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a maritime tracking system that enables vessels to automatically transmit and receive information, including their identity, position, course, and speed, to other ships and shore-based stations. It enhances maritime safety, navigation efficiency, and situational awareness by providing real-time vessel tracking and facilitating collision avoidance measures.
The choice of a vessel tracking solution depends on different factors: requirements, constraints & objectives; features and functionalities; technology used; and accuracy, coverage, interface, and cost.
