Summary The revision of the SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) agreement in 2000 obligated installing AIS (Automatic Identification System) to the ship, which is more than a constant scale. As a result, regular observations of the ship movements and the analysis of the data became possible at AIS receiving station on land. This study shows the result of analyzing the AIS data by using the NILIM-AIS to utilize the ports and harbors development in the future.
