AISHub is a FREE AIS data sharing service which provides access to real time ship positions for vessel tracking systems...
Automatic Identification System (AIS) has been a game-changer in navigation safety for mariners and is considered one of the most significant advancements since the introduction of radar. Initially developed as a collision avoidance tool, AIS enhances visibility and improves the helmsman's information about the surrounding environment. The technology continuously transmits vessels' position, identity, speed, and course, along with other relevant information, to all other AIS-equipped vessels within range. This real-time information on vessel movements allows port authorities and maritime safety bodies to efficiently manage maritime traffic and mitigate the risks associated with marine navigation. The AIS tracking system has proven to be a valuable tool in enhancing safety and security in the maritime industry.
