In recent years, the AIS (automatic vessel identification system) data has been used for maritime logistics analysis and shipping market analysis, although it is originally applied to avoid collision between ships and detect suspicious ships. In this international seminar, we invite the researchers and business persons for giving presentations and a panel discussion to understand the current status on the usage of AIS and other vessel movement data from the viewpoints of logistics and shipping economy in Japan and overseas. Through the presentations and discussions, we will prospect the future use of maritime logistics big data such as the AIS in the fields of logistics, shipping and shipbuilding.
