AIS Analysis in Support of Counter-Piracy Operations
Piracy in the Gulf of Aden and the waters around Somalia has increased dramatically in recent years. This paper describes a number of analysis techniques that could be used with Automatic Identification System (AIS) data to help characterise merchant shipping traffic and traffic flows. Through this analysis, the increase in piracy incidents in the Indian Ocean may be explained as a result of naval patrols and ships adhering to advice whilst in the Gulf of Aden, which has forced an evolution in piracy tactics where ships are attacked at a considerable distance offshore. This style of data analysis is useful when planning future counter-piracy operations.
