A Large-Scale AIS Datset from Finnish Water

The proposed AIS dataset encompasses a substantial temporal span of 20 months, spanning from April 2021 to December 2022. This extensive coverage period empowers analysts to examine long-term trends and variations in vessel activities. Moreover, it facilitates researchers in comprehending the potential influence of external factors, including weather patterns, seasonal variations, and economic conditions, on vessel traffic and behavior within the Finnish waters. This dataset encompasses an extensive array of data pertaining to vessel movements and activities encompassing seas, rivers, and lakes. Anticipated to be comprehensive in nature, the dataset encompasses a diverse range of ship types, such as cargo ships, tankers, fishing vessels, passenger ships, and various other categories. The AIS dataset exhibits a prominent attribute in the form of its exceptional granularity with a total of 2 293 129 345 data points. The provision of such granular information proves can help analysts to comprehend vessel dynamics and operations within the Finnish waters. It enables the identification of patterns and anomalies in vessel behavior and facilitates an assessment of the potential environmental implications associated with maritime activities.
