Abstract

By developing Automatic Identification System (AIS), vessel positioning and detailed movement can be understood in real time. Although vessel movement data including AIS have been conventionally utilized in suspicious vessel detection, collision avoidance, and vessel trajectory analysis, etc., this study focuses on the new application fields of vessel movement data including logistics, shipping, shipbuilding, environment, and cruise industry. In this paper, description of AIS data and literature review of each field are first summarized, then the results of the questionnaire survey to the industry and application service of AIS data are analyzed. Finally, the future prospects of research and application to the industry in the fields that the authors focus are summarized.
