AIS shiptrack

AIS stands for Automatic Identification of System and is officially classed as being primarily an aid to navigation rather than a vessel tracking system. It was designed with the aim of improving vessel safety by increasing the situational awareness of nearby traffic, and with a secondary function of allowing the monitoring of traffic by vessel traffic systems, port authorities and other government agencies. It is this secondary monitoring function which has been further developed and exploited to provide the global vessel tracking systems in use today.

AIS works by allowing individual vessels to automatically broadcast a regularly updated series of structured messages containing navigation and identity information to other vessels in their immediate vicinity. Messages are broadcast on one of two VHF radio frequencies (161.975Mhz & 162.025Mhz) and the contents conform to one of 27 pre-defined message formats. The system is designed to be self-organising with the individual transmitters synchronizing themselves with each other, to avoid overlapping transmissions. Each message then being sent using one or two of the 2250 time slots established every minute on each channel.

AIS equipment is in use globally not just on the high seas, but also extensively on rivers, lakes and inland waterways.

The best 24/7 AIS coverage comes from terrestrial AIS receivers and is based on their radio line of sight. This, in turn, is dependent on both the height of the transmitting and receiving AIS aerials but typically extends out to around 30 nautical miles for larger vessels. Beyond this range, a weather-based phenomenon known as tropospheric ducting often provides enhanced reception thereby extending coverage by 10’s or even sometimes 100’s of miles. This effect is however highly directional, variable in strength and seasonal being more prevalent in warmer weather, it, therefore, cannot be relied on alone. For areas outside the coverage of terrestrial land-based antennas most AIS monitoring is provided by satellite-based AIS receivers which cover the whole globe from pole to pole, this provides in general excellent coverage for vessels in mid ocean, and the southern hemisphere in general.

The legal requirements and policies for the use of AIS class A were formulated by the International Maritime Organisation, and form part of SOLAS Chapter V - Safety of Navigation - Regulation 19 - Carriage requirements for shipborne navigational systems and equipment.

The technical requirements of the AIS system are specified by The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and are laid out chiefly in their publication.

Recommendation ITU-R M.1371-5(02/2014) - Technical characteristics for an automatic identification system using time division multiple access in the VHF maritime mobile frequency band.

Within territorial waters enforcement of AIS standards, the accuracy of transmissions, and any special local requirements for AIS fitment and use is the responsibility of the individual nation states.

Tropical Storm Ernesto: Track where the storm is heading in the latest models

Tropical Storm Ernesto formed Monday as it moved toward the Caribbean islands and the forecast suggest Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands could experience tropical storm conditions beginning Tuesday.

You can track the storm's path with the latest maps and models below and follow along with USA TODAY's coverage of Tropical Storm Ernesto as the fifth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season moves through the Caribbean.

The storm is expected to bring heavy rain and cause flash floods and mudslides but the mainland U.S. could be largely spared from the storm, according to forecasts.

Where is Ernesto heading?

The National Hurricane Center's 11 p.m. ET update Monday indicated that Ernesto could bring tropical storm conditions to parts of the Leeward Islands by early Tuesday, and the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico later in the day.

A tropical storm warning was issued in the area late Monday evening.

Indespensible

I just sailed from Chesapeake Bay to NYC. I don't have AIS on my boat, and was concerned about boat traffic in the C&D canal, the Delware river, and Ambrose channel into the Hudson. I DO HAVE cellular service on my Ipad. We remained within 10 miles of the coastline at all times, and this app identified all the freighters, both near us, and I could also look ahead and behind us. I was then able to hail them and discuss course and direction with them. There were a few times we needed to adjust our course a tiny bit, and avoid issues well in advance. This app was a life saver for our voyage. Even when I upgrade to onboard AIS, I will still use this app to see the freighters that are outside of the VHF line of site range to predict CPA. Thanks Marine Traffic!!!!

Free unlocks expire when app closed

I was looking for an app to track my vehicle shipment. This app does a great job of that and more. There’s a catch for free accounts, however. You get three “past route” and three “vessel info” unlocks before having to register and pay. No problem, I thought. Just want to track one ship over a period of 3-5 days. So day one I unlock the past route and vessel info for my ship. Very cool info! Day two I go to check on the vessel and… I have to use another unlock for both the past route and vessel info. Now day two again, but I closed the app and it wants to use my final unlock for both the route and vessel info. It’s the same ship on the same route. If you’re going to subscribe, this won’t matter to you. If you’re like me and only have a single, one-off use of the app, go for it but don’t close the app! You’ll have to use your limited unlocks again and quickly run out. I hope the app dev will consider allowing each unlock to last for the current sailing of the selected ship instead of what seems to expire as soon as I close the app.

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means a lot to us! Should you have any suggestions on what could be improved, please let us know in our Community Help:https://bit.ly/3qEQGUa Have a great day!

Was good, recent update made it useless.

This app used to be good for what I needed it for, which was seeing the names of ships near me (I work on ships and frequently need to do this for various reasons). Now, the app doesn’t show any vessel names unless you specifically search for a specific vessel, even when the “vessel names” option is checked. Furthermore, the app used to show you a picture of the vessel for free, which is very useful if you have to visit a specific ship and you don’t know what it looks like. Now when you tap on a ship, you don’t even get a picture. So this app is trying to force me to pay for things that it used to do for free, and it still is possible to do for free if I use google or other apps, so there is literally no reason to use this app anymore. On an unrelated note, the old logo was completely fine. The new logo looks nothing like a ship unless you know in advance that it’s trying to look like a ship viewed from the front. Simpler isn’t always better. It’s an app logo, not a company logo. It should quickly convey what the app is for so that it stands out on a page with 27 other app logos.

We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. We always appreciate customers who take the time to give us their feedback and will definitely pass this on to the relevant team for review. If you have any questions, please contact us at https://bit.ly/3dzeALs

Maps show Hurricane Ernesto's path and forecast as it moves away from Bermuda

By Emily Mae Czachor , Kerry Breen

Updated on: August 17, 2024 / 9:25 PM EDT / CBS News

Hurricane Ernesto  was moving away from Bermuda Saturday after making landfall on the island as a Category 1 storm. 

The British territory remained under a tropical storm warning Saturday evening after getting hit with heavy rains and powerful winds, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center reported in its latest advisory. 

As of 8 p.m. EDT, Ernesto was centered about 100 miles northeast of Bermuda and was inching north-northeast at 6 miles per hour, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, the NHC said, a significant weakening from the 100 mph it reached Friday when it was at Category 2 status. Forecasters expected Ernesto to remain at or near hurricane strength for the next couple of days, but was likely to weaken before passing near southeastern Newfoundland late Monday.

Swells fueled by Ernesto were forecast to cause "life-threatening surf and rip current conditions" on the East Coast of the U.S. and Atlantic Canada over the next couple of days, the hurricane center said. 

Ernesto had strengthened from a tropical storm into a hurricane Wednesday morning while moving north of Puerto Rico, as forecasters had predicted. The hurricane center upgraded Ernesto once its maximum sustained winds reached 75 mph.

Ernesto knocked out power to about 72% of customers in Bermuda Saturday, according to utility provider Belco. The island was expected to see rain totals of up to 9 inches. Although the storm was moving away from Bermuda, tropical storm conditions were expected to persist for the island Saturday night, the hurricane center said. 

Before making landfall in Bermuda, Ernesto brought heavy flooding to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands earlier in the week while gaining strength as it went through the Caribbean. Torrential downpours blanketed parts of Puerto Rico for much of Wednesday, dumping nearly 10 inches of rain, swelling rivers and flooding roads.

In the process, Ernesto knocked out power to about 750,000 homes and businesses in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico's electricity provider, LUMA Energy, said  about 101,000 customers still didn't have power as of Saturday night, a significant drop from when service outages peaked on Wednesday afternoon, the provider  said .

According to the utility tracker PowerOutage.us, just over 3,400 customers in the U.S. Virgin Islands had no electricity Saturday night, down from a peak of about 46,000 on Wednesday.

Ernesto became the fifth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season when it formed Monday on a fast-moving path to the Caribbean. The storm came on the heels of Hurricane Debby , which lashed parts of the southeastern United States last week with disastrous flooding and severe weather that ultimately touched much of the East Coast. Ernesto isn't expected to strike the U.S. mainland, the hurricane center said.

Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story reported 975,000 customers had lost power in Puerto Rico, but that was the number of customers who still had power, according to Puerto Rico's electricity provider.

Global Financial Safety Net Tracker Database Methodology Guidebook

The Global Financial Safety Net (GFSN) is a set of institutions and mechanisms that provide insurance against crises and financing to mitigate their impacts. It has four main elements: countries’ own international reserves; bilateral swap arrangements whereby central banks exchange currencies to provide liquidity to banking systems; regional financial arrangements (RFAs) by which countries pool resources to leverage financing in a crisis; and resources and lending from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The total amount of available crisis finance resources currently stands at more than $3.5 trillion as of December 2023.

The Global Financial Safety Net (GFSN) Tracker is the first global, interactive database that measures the annual lending capacity of the IMF, RFAs, central banks and the total amount of financing to mitigate the financial impact of the COVID-19 crisis via loans from the IMF, RFAs and currency swaps. The interactive is co-produced by the Boston University Global Development Policy Center, Freie Universität Berlin and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

The GFSN Tracker comprises two components:

• The Annual Lending Capacity tab shows a country’s access limit to crisis finance in the GFSN that can be obtained from the three primary sources: the IMF, RFAs and central bank currency swaps. The data displayed estimates the maximum crisis financing available to a country from either the IMF or RFAs, if the country is a member of an RFA. Furthermore, the lending capacity shows the total of central bank currency swaps that a country’s central bank has with a counterparty central bank in a given year, as an approximation of the potentially bilaterally available amount of liquidity to draw.
• The COVID-19 Financing Arrangements tab tracks financing arrangements since the COVID-19 crisis, displaying the total amount of financing via loans from the IMF, RFAs and from currency swaps that were deployed as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the first COVID-19 tracking source that includes a regularly updated overview of all RFA loans disbursed and agreed central bank currency swaps in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Global Financial Safety Net Tracker Database Methodology Guidebook by Laurissa Mühlich , William N. Kring and Barbara Fritz discusses the database scopes, definitions and data collection methodologies used in GFSN Tracker and provides answers to frequently asked questions.

W.H.O. Declares Global Emergency Over New Mpox Outbreak

The epidemic is concentrated in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but the virus has now appeared in a dozen other African countries.

The rapid spread of mpox, formerly called monkeypox, in African countries constitutes a global health emergency, the World Health Organization declared on Wednesday.

This is the second time in three years that the W.H.O. has designated an mpox epidemic as a global emergency. It previously did so in July 2022. That outbreak went on to affect nearly 100,000 people , primarily gay and bisexual men, in 116 countries, and killed about 200 people.

The threat this time is deadlier. Since the beginning of this year, the Democratic Republic of Congo alone has reported 15,600 mpox cases and 537 deaths. Those most at risk include women and children under 15.

“The detection and rapid spread of a new clade of mpox in eastern D.R.C., its detection in neighboring countries that had not previously reported mpox, and the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying,” said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the W.H.O.’s director general.

The outbreak has spread through 13 countries in Africa, including a few that had never reported mpox cases before. On Tuesday, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared a “public health emergency of continental security,” the first time the organization has taken that step since the African Union granted it the power to do so last year.

“It’s in the interests of the countries, of the continent and of the world to get our arms around this and stop transmission as soon as we can,” said Dr. Nicole Lurie, the executive director for preparedness and response at the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, a nonprofit that finances vaccine development.

Facing the threat of global spread, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has urged clinicians and the public in the United States to be alert for the virus.

The W.H.O.’s designation of a “public health emergency of international concern” is intended to prompt member countries to begin preparing for the virus’s appearance and to share vaccines, treatments and other key resources with poorer nations.

“We need concerted international action to stem this recent, novel outbreak,” said Gregg Gonsalves, an epidemiologist at Yale University who served on the W.H.O.’s mpox committee in 2022.

The outbreak that year stayed mostly within tight sexual networks, among gay and bisexual men. A combination of behavioral changes and vaccination tamped down the spread.

In the United States, for example, the toll dropped to about 1,700 cases last year from more than 30,000 in 2022.

The version of mpox that has been circulating in Congo has always been more virulent, and currently has a death rate of about 3 percent, compared with 0.2 percent in the 2022 outbreak. The infection can produce fever, respiratory symptoms, muscle aches and swollen lymph nodes, as well as a rash on the hands, feet, chest, mouth or genitals.

Until recently, it spread mainly through consumption of contaminated meat or close contact with infected animals and people. Most of the deaths have been in children, who in this region of Africa are already beset by malnutrition and infectious diseases like cholera, measles and polio.

Should the outbreak spread globally, children in developed countries are likely to be less vulnerable to severe illness, experts have said.

Last year, for the first time, scientists discovered sexual transmission of this version of mpox, with cases split about equally among young men and women. According to genetic analyses , sometime around September, the virus gained mutations that enabled it to spread more readily among people. It has done so partly through heterosexual prostitution .

This viral type has not surfaced outside Africa. Over all, there have been more than 17,500 presumed and confirmed mpox cases in 13 countries, according to Africa C.D.C . Most of the cases and deaths have occurred in Congo.

Given the rapid spread, the declaration of a global health emergency was justified, said Anne Rimoin, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who served on the 2022 mpox panel.

“I think we learned a great deal about the speed with which this virus can spread,” she said.

Amid rising numbers, Congo has approved two mpox vaccines , a Japanese product called LC16 and Jynneos, the vaccine made by Bavarian Nordic that was used in 2022 in the United States and Europe. But Congo has yet to institute an immunization plan.

On Aug. 9, the W.H.O. invited vaccine manufacturers to apply for an emergency use listing , a prerequisite for international groups such as Gavi, a global vaccine alliance, to purchase and distribute the shots in low-income nations.

Bavarian Nordic has donated 15,000 doses of Jynneos to be distributed in African countries. But that is a tiny fraction of the 10 million doses needed to control the outbreak, according to Africa C.D.C.

“The challenge is that these vaccines are not sufficient,” even if countries try to protect only the people at highest risk, said Dr. Dimie Ogoina, a Nigerian scientist and chair of the W.H.O.’s mpox emergency committee.

LC16 was used in Japanese children in the 1970s. Clinical trials funded by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations are now evaluating whether Jynneos can protect children and people who have already been exposed to the virus , Dr. Lurie said.

The organization is also supporting the development of a new mRNA vaccine made by BioNTech that would protect against mpox and related viruses, such as smallpox.

“This outbreak has been smoldering for quite a long time, and we continually have missed opportunities to shut it down,” Dr. Lurie said. “I’m really glad that everybody is now paying attention and focusing their efforts on this.”
