Vessel Data Management
The Marico data management team has consistently pushed the limits and possibilities of data handling and management of AIS and radar throughout the 10 years of vessel traffic surveys for the UK Maritime and Coasguard Agency (MCA), and offshore energy companies. Marico is now able to offer secure remote AIS and radar systems, with features such as real-time tracking from any location (even worldwide), re-playable databases, and track logging – nn ideal solution for offshore developers, agencies, ports, and shipping companies.
Logged data from the system can produce a traffic analysis of your monitored area(s), providing breakdowns of draught, vessel type, speed, and thematic plots such as density and direction. The data enables us to provide a traffic report and risk analysis of the area, whilst highlighting and identifying traffic trends, shipping routes, regular users, and offenders.
One example of our knowledge in networking- the secure wireless connection of two radars in the harsh environment of the Little Minch (NW Scotland) for a UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency survey. Spanning greater than 25 miles across rugged terrain and water, the Marico survey team used this technology to manage and control a radar system in order to acquire and track targets remotely, with the data being fed back to a base station and displayed on an Electronic Chart Display System (ECDS). Other inputs to this system included additional radar, AIS and positioning systems, ensuring accurate coverage over a considerable area.
Should you already have AIS receivers and radars currently installed, but wish to share the data amongst multiple users in different locations (even worldwide), the Marico data team is able to provide a cost effective, yet modern and up-gradable system.
Marico’s data systems are individually designed exclusively for you and your requirements, using qualified data engineers and master mariners to ensure a viable and practical system. Rest assured, should a problem occur, we have over 10 years working experience of these systems that we can apply.
