Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. In the U.S. the Coast Guard and industry collect AIS data, which can also be used for a variety of coastal management purposes. NOAA and BOEM have worked jointly to make available these data from the U.S. Coast Guards national network of AIS receivers. The original records were filtered to a one-minute frequency rate, and subset to depict the location and description of vessels broadcasting within the Exclusive Economic Zone.

| Abstract: |
Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. In the U.S. the Coast Guard and industry collect AIS data, which can also be used for a variety of coastal management purposes. NOAA and BOEM have worked jointly to make available these data from the U.S. Coast Guards national network of AIS receivers. The original records were filtered to a one-minute frequency rate, and subset to depict the location and description of vessels broadcasting within the Exclusive Economic Zone. |
| Purpose: |
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act. |

Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
Filter the raw NMEA data to a one-minute sample rate and select a subset of fields using MarineCadastre.gov NMEA to SQL Server processing tools Load filtered records to a SQL Server 2017 database using MarineCadastre.gov NMEA to SQL Server processing tools Conduct quality and completeness check using logging results from the filter and loading process, and database record counts Update the IMO, CallSign, VesselName, Length, Width, VesselType, and Draft from US Coast Guard AVIS Added or updated the new vessel type code field to each record fragment that was found in the US Coast Guard AVIS Export records from the SQL Server database to daily CSV files using MarineCadastre.gov Filter and Export utilities Modify the format of the date and time values to a UTC string format during export Modify the format of the IMO vessel number to include the IMO prefix during export Trim white space from string attributes during export Replaced comma punctuation marks with a semi-colon in the vessel name or call sign field if present to improve CSV formatting during export Replaced the vessel Status code values with descriptive text during export Include a header record with descriptive text for each field during export Write extracted AIS data to an ASCII CSV format file using MarineCadastre.gov Filter and Export utilities Compress each ASCII CSV file |
