Study of Quality Service in AIS Gateway System

About 90 % of the volume of world trade is transported by sea via ships, this volume corresponds to about 70 % of world trade in value. Thus, maritime transport must be made on the basis of the highest rates of safety. Global distress communication systems, ship reporting systems, emergency radio beacons, and other technologies have greatly enhanced mariners’ safety. Considering this, the paper presents a platform that enables the maritime access information from data provided by the Automatic Identification System (AIS) in a quick way only by using your mobile phone. The developed and made available platform intended as a complement to any existing technology that supports shipping with high safety indices. In this paper the proposed approach is used in two real situations. The results make it possible to understand that the quality of service is good and it can provide relevant information for shipping management.
