| Lineage | The file contains all available locations (sampled hourly) of ships and boats for more than one year (May 2014 to August2015) as obtained via the AIS system ran by Sure Ltd using three fixed AIS receivers situated in the Falkland Islands. The locations (lat and long in WGS84), MMSI and name of vessel, speed, vessel type and are included for each point. The AIS system does not cover the entire EEZ because it requieres line of sight and it should be noticed that it is weather dependent which will affect the accuracy of the points. The area south-eat of the Falkland Islands had the worst coverage because no receiver is located in the south east of the islands. For details on vessel types see for instance http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=AISMessagesAStatic |
