| Lineage | The dataseries is the result of processing raw AIS data obtained by SURE Ltd. The dataseries reports, per each vessel type, information on unique vessel number (mmsi), vessel name, vessel type (code), length, date and time, lat and long, speed, course and heading, month, year. The vessel code is a standard code that identify type of vessels. The raw AIS data (see FK-SAERI-228) were processed and each code was attributed to a vessel type. A list with codes associated to vessel types will be provided with the data. There have been many cases where the codes were associated to vessel types by using the unique number (mmsi) and looking up on the internet to find the vessel and recognise the type. The reason for creating shape files for each type of vessel is that single files were handled much better by the GIS tool and allowed performing spatial analyses. The files are all named with the type of vessel, e.g. internal_ferry.shp |
