I’m trying to understand more about the data source used in the PORTS app.
How is the AIS data collected and processed? Is it obtained directly from official AIS networks or through third-party providers? If third parties are involved, which ones supply the data, and how is accuracy, coverage, and update frequency maintained? Also, is any filtering, aggregation, or validation done before the data is displayed in the app?
If available, is there any technical documentation or reference material that describes the data pipeline or sourcing process? Thank you.
