Marine traffic around ports and waterways is becoming increasingly dense, making manual forecasting unreliable and reactive. Unexpected congestion, weather disruptions, and inaccurate ETAs impact berth availability, safety, and overall port efficiency. An AI-Powered Marine Traffic Forecasting System leverages AIS data, historical traffic patterns, weather inputs, and machine learning models to predict vessel movements and congestion ahead of time. This enables ports, authorities, and operators to plan proactively and reduce operational risk.
Problem Ports and Authorities Face
-
Limited ability to predict traffic congestion
-
Reactive planning based on manual monitoring
-
Safety risks due to vessel density
-
Inefficient berth and pilot allocation
-
Poor ETA accuracy during peak traffic or weather events
-
No predictive insights for short-term and mid-term planning
