It runs from system tray and does not require a lot of system resources. AISDispatcher is very light weight and the user can create complex structures of cascade connected instances of AISDispatcher. Until then the only possible solution for AIS data sharing was ShipPlotter. Two years ago AISHub team released the best free AIS data forwarding utility - AISDispatcher. Currently the number of the ships in AISHub server is between 6-7K. Each member of AISHub shares his own AIS feed and receives access to all other feeds. It is precious resource for AIS professionals and software developers. MarineTraffic has been developed by the Aegean University.ĪISHub is the only one free AIS sharing site which provides raw AIS NMEA sharing instead of visualization. Currently (Sept.2010) the number of the ships in their site reaches 18-19K. MarineTraffic uses Google Map technology for visualization of the ships. Here I will review only the top 3 of them: MarineTraffic, AISHub and ShipPlotter. The low price of AIS receiving equipment and simplicity of installation led to constantly increasing number of free AIS tracking web sites - amateur and professional ones. The display can be accessed by a computer, cell phone or PDA and allows users to select from a variety of display options as well as search for vessels, establish arrival and departure alert messages and replay a vessel's past transits.įor information on options, fees and enrollment in the Marine Exchange vessel tracking system, select the button.AIS tracking become mandatory on all ships since 2004. Our software system, PACTRACS, is a user friendly vessel tracking display that presents vessels’ position reports, dimensions, type of vessel and other information transmitted by vessel's AIS and/or satellite transponders via the web. Access to terrestrial and satellite AIS data for the entire North Pacific from the equator to the Arctic is also available as well as options between these two. Terrestrial AIS coverage for Alaska is our entry option. We are also expanding the benefits of AIS technology to digitally transmit weather and other safety information to mariners.Īccess to the Marine Exchange’s PACTRACS is provided via membership and a subscription service, the cost of which is based on the area of coverage and data accessed. ![]() The Marine Exchange is also able to incorporate data transmitted by various satellite transponders to track fishing vessels, barges and other vessels where AIS is not used. We have worked with our partner marine exchanges to expand this system to other areas of the Pacific Coast as well as with satellite AIS providers to provide coverage for users of the system. Our watchstanders alert the Coast Guard, owners and operators and responders when the system indicates a vessel has lost power or incurred a casualty or entered an Area to be Avoided (ATBA). The information is compiled, displayed and monitored at our 7x24 Operations Center in Juneau. The graphic at right shows the locations of MXAK’s Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiving stations in Alaska that bring in millions of vessels’ position reports every day. ![]() The information on vessels locations is provided to the Coast Guard and others in the expansive Alaska and international maritime community to aid safe, efficient, secure and environmentally sound maritime operations. Since 2004, the Marine Exchange has been building and operating one of the largest vessel tracking systems in the world encompassing some of the most expansive and dangerous waters.
