In 2016, the world shipping fleet grew by 3.5%. Even if annual growth rate remains at its lowest since 2013, global situation is still in overcapacity (UNCTAD 2016). Ninety percent of trade, volume, done sea. Monitoring this helps with vessel navigation, informing to help avoid critical situations such as collisions, accidents leading oil pollution, grounding, or ships distress, but also because traffic management congested areas essential. For system wide management, regions MPAs (marine protected areas), conservation key factor, and movements can be monitored analyzed order determine illegal suspicious activities, limit and/or divert traffic, mitigate risks species subject protection. It among these efforts that automatic identification (AIS) play a role. Since 2004, VHF transceiver-based reporting system, imposed International Maritime Organization (IMO), has shifted from traditional device tool used variety applications. The most common uses are safety security; issues quite visible media may touch more people on scale (e.g., piracy, spills). Over years, AIS become, especially emergence satellite-based capture signal 2011, widely for developing applications fisheries monitoring, marine conservation, air pollution forecasting modeling, ballast water invasive transport, many more. paper, we propose review peer-reviewed publications related AIS.
