IMAS Metadata Catalogue
Commercial Vessel Transiting
This resource is a Map of Vessel traffic in the Australian EEZ for the periods 2018/19 - 2022/23 and current 2022/23. The data presented here are summaries of the tracks of vessels between the points identified by either AUSREP or AIS, summarised to the number of KM per 0.1 deg grid square.
The Craft Tracking System (CTS) and Mariweb are AMSAs vessel traffic databases. They collect vessel traffic data from a variety of sources, including terrestrial and satellite shipborne Automatic Identification System (AIS) data sources. This dataset has been built from AIS data extracted from CTS, and it contains vessel traffic data for the month of November 2024. The dataset covers the extents of Australias Search and Rescue Region. Each point within the dataset represents a vessel position report and is spatially and temporally defined by geographic coordinates and a Universal Time Coordinate (UTC) timestamp respectively.

- Purpose
- This data and sets of maps was generate as inputs to the Futures of Seafood study State of Play (Work Package 1).Futures of Seafood delivers Australia's first comprehensive analysis of how intensifying ocean demands will reshape seafood production. This landmark 18-month study examines the cumulative impacts of competing ocean uses and policy decisions on the seafood sector. By uniting industry expertise with research capabilities, it creates a single source of truth about challenges and opportunities facing Australian seafood. Through spatial mapping, economic modeling, and social impact assessment, it provides decision-makers with essential insights for managing multiple ocean industries and ensures sustainable seafood production amid changing ocean access.
