Overview

This web-based tool enables users to interactively download U.S. vessel traffic data across user-defined geographies and time periods. It also provides quick visualizations of traffic patterns and vessel counts. Vessel traffic data are available for the most recent years. Data are added on a quarterly basis and the oldest year will be removed when the most recent year is added.

Features

  • Provides a view of vessel traffic patterns
  • Functions as a “clip and ship” tool for AIS point data
  • Tailors data access to user’s area and time period of interest
