Vessel Traffic Density from AIS Data (2013-2015)

Created 12/10/2024

Updated 12/10/2024

Maps of vessel density 2013-2015 for AIS-equipped vessels, in terms of km traversed in each cell for range of vessel classes for the Australian EZ. AIS data was sourced from AMSA and subsequently processed. The density was calculated for subsets of vessels based on various characteristics such as size or vessel use/purpose. These characteristics were derived and may contain errors.

See Peel et. al. (2018) for detail on the processing methods.
