Abstract
Maritime transport, due to its characteristics, global reach and an important role it plays in economical processes, is now an area of implementation of the newest and the most advanced solutions in shipping monitoring systems. Majority of these solutions are based on Automatic Identification System (AIS) signal transmission. exactAIS is a global vessel monitoring and tracking system based on world leading Satellite AIS (S-AIS) technology. This service enhances maritime domain awareness for government authorities and selected commercial organizations around the world, with superior detection capability, secure distribution of information and high quality of service. This paper is an attempt at providing a complex grasp of the benefits regarding the usage of exactEarth application on a level of the land-marine logistic supply chains.

Modern ships are equipped with much more systems – in addition to those already mentioned there are systems controlling the machinery, cargo systems, communication systems, voyage planning and navigation systems etc. .
Since 2004, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has required AIS transponders to be aboard all vessels that exceed 300 gross tons. Over 60,000 ships worldwide have installed these transponders at a combined cost of several hundred million dollars, making AIS one of the most successful maritime technology deployments of all time. Additionally, AIS technology is increasingly being deployed in smaller vessels as well as Aids-To-Navigation (AtoN) and Search and Rescue (SAR) transponders
There are strict controls on the distribution of the data. For example, a competent maritime authority from a particular country is eligible to receive data on the following Class-A AIS-equipped vessels: all vessels within 1,000 nautical miles of that country’s coastline, vessels carrying that country’s flag, all vessels destined for ports in that country
exactEarth has been collecting operational AIS data from the exactAIS® servicesince July 2010. All of thisdata is stored in an archive at Toronto-based Data Processing Centre. Customers may now purchase this historical data, which includes all AIS messages processed by the exactAIS service dating from July 5, 2010 up to 30 days prior to the current date and time
The Ship ViewTM website was developed purely for illustrative purposes, showing how data can be used by different customers
