Commercial Vessel Transiting

This resource is a Map of Vessel traffic in the Australian EEZ for the periods 2018/19 - 2022/23 and current 2022/23. The data presented here are summaries of the tracks of vessels between the points identified by either AUSREP or AIS, summarised to the number of KM per 0.1 deg grid square.

The Craft Tracking System (CTS) and Mariweb are AMSAs vessel traffic databases. They collect vessel traffic data from a variety of sources, including terrestrial and satellite shipborne Automatic Identification System (AIS) data sources. This dataset has been built from AIS data extracted from CTS, and it contains vessel traffic data for the month of November 2024. The dataset covers the extents of Australias Search and Rescue Region. Each point within the dataset represents a vessel position report and is spatially and temporally defined by geographic coordinates and a Universal Time Coordinate (UTC) timestamp respectively.
