ship tracking

Ship tracking refers to the methods used to monitor the location and movements of ships at sea. This is typically done through technologies like GPS, AIS (Automatic Identification System), and satellite tracking. AIS allows ships to broadcast their position, speed, and direction, which other vessels and shore stations can receive. This information helps improve maritime safety, enables efficient route planning, and facilitates logistics and shipping operations. Ship tracking is essential for managing traffic in busy waterways, responding to emergencies, and ensuring compliance with maritime regulations.
