AIS vessel tracking
The automatic identification signal ships broadcast for collision avoidance, widely used as a near real-time record of maritime movement.
The Automatic Identification System is a transponder standard requiring most commercial vessels to broadcast identity, position, course and speed continuously. It exists for navigation safety, and it is received by shore stations and by satellites, which makes global maritime movement observable without anyone filing anything.
Used carefully it is the fastest signal in physical trade: a diversion, a slow steam, a berth wait or a re-route around a chokepoint is visible on the day it starts rather than in a statistic a month later. Joined to a bill of lading it stops being a moving dot and becomes a specific shipment with a consignee and a commodity attached.
Its honest limits matter. Transponders can be switched off or spoofed, satellite reception is uneven in congested waters, and a position says nothing about what is in the hold - so a responsible answer carries the observation and its confidence rather than a clean line. It is one input among several, which is why it is resolved against orbital observation and port records rather than trusted alone.
Evidence that keeps pace with the decision.
