AIS Dataset

The AIS Dataset is included in the response of the following methods:

The data is returned in JSON or XML format and includes the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
`MMSI`	integer	MMSI number of the vessel (AIS identifier)
`TIMESTAMP`	datetime	Date and time (UTC) when the position was received by AIS, `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC`
`LATITUDE`	float	Geographical latitude (WGS84)
`LONGITUDE`	float	Geographical longitude (WGS84)
`COURSE`	float	Course over ground (degrees)
`SPEED`	float	Speed over ground (knots)
`HEADING`	integer	Heading (degrees) of the vessel's hull. A value of 511 indicates there is no heading data
`NAVSTAT`	integer	Navigation status, see AIS NavStat
`IMO`	integer	IMO number of the vessel, `0` if not available
`NAME`	text	Name of the vessel
`CALLSIGN`	text	Callsign of the vessel
`TYPE`	integer	Type of the vessel, see AIS Ship Types
`A`	integer	Distance (meters) from AIS GPS antenna to the bow of the vessel
`B`	integer	Distance (meters) from AIS GPS antenna to the stern of the vessel (Vessel Length = A + B)
`C`	integer	Distance (meters) from AIS GPS antenna to the port side of the vessel
`D`	integer	Distance (meters) from AIS GPS antenna to the starboard side of the vessel (Vessel Width = C + D)
`DRAUGHT`	float	Draught as reported via AIS
`DESTINATION`	text	Port of destination (manually entered by the master)
`LOCODE`	text	UN/LOCODE of the port of destination, empty if it cannot be determined
`ETA_AIS`	text	Estimated time of arrival at the port of destination (manually entered by the master), `MM-DD HH:MM`
`ETA`	text	Estimated time of arrival in full date/time format (year is added by the API), `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS`
`SRC`	text	Source of AIS data. Always `TER` (terrestrial)
`ZONE`	text	Name of the world zone where the vessel is located
`ECA`	bool	Indicates whether the vessel is inside an ECA/SECA zone (`true` / `false`)
