Results in this case study area indicate expected high risk vessels were ranked highly for risk of intentional disabling of AIS transmitters. Simulations support that the model is sensitive to frequent gaps as short as one hour. The model we developed successfully identifies high risk gaps in the test case example in the Arafura Sea. We describe a spatial statistical model developed to identify gaps in AIS transmission, which allows calculation of the probability that a given gap is due to intentional disabling.

Moreover, separating saturation and equipment issues from intentional disabling is a key issue, as intentional disabling is a useful risk factor in predicting illicit behaviors such as illegal fishing. Resolving which of these mechanisms is responsible for generating gaps in transmissions from a given vessel is a critical task in using AIS to remotely monitor vessels. Gaps occur for three basic reasons: 1) saturation of the system in locations with high vessel density 2) poor quality transmissions due to equipment on the vessel or receiver and 3) intentional disabling of AIS transmitters. One fundamental problem with AIS transmission is the issue of gaps in transmissions. Increasingly, the system is being used to monitor vessels remotely, particularly with the advent of satellite receivers. Of ocean areas and to estimate the species that are involved in aĬatch, which can help in limiting destructive fishing practices.Īutomatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a standard feature of ocean-going vessels, designed to allow vessels to notify each other of their position and route, to reduce collisions.

The technologies such as automatic identification systems (AIS), Inmarsat-C, and digital selective calling (DSC) and GSM are investigated with regard to the propagation/coverage, cost, reliability, etc. We then present the results of a feasibility study on the application and integration of the technologies and facilities of these systems for maritime security. These systems have been designed and provided with regulatory framework for other reasons such as sustainable fishery, search and rescue, environmental protection, navigational safety, etc. We first identify candidate technologies and systems for different types of vessels. Maritime security has become major concerns of all coastal states, and the fundamental requirement is "maritime domain awareness" via identification, tracking and monitoring of vessels within their waters.
