Marine Exchange of AlaskaBriefing to
Anchorage Science SymposiumVessel Tracking
Systems A non-profit maritime organization
established to provide the Alaska maritime
community information, communications and
services to ensure safe, secure, efficient and
environmentally responsible maritime operations.

Marine Exchanges
Telegraph Hill San Francisco 1850

• Marine Exchanges Date Back to 1800s
• - Broker information on vessel arrivals-
  Telescopes and semaphore in 1800s
• - Radars, radios, AIS, e-mail, the internet,
  and satellites used today

Automated Secure Vessel Tracking System (ASVTS)

• A Vessel Tracking System developed by the Marine
  Exchange of Alaska that utilizes satellite
  communications and AIS to track the locations of
  vessels to aid safe, secure, efficient and
  environmentally responsible maritime operations.

4
Why Track Vessels?

• Provide information for Risk Assessment of
  Vessel Traffic Routes
• Validate Compliance with Environmental
  Protection Measures
• Emergency Response Vessel Casualties
  Minimize loss of life, property and
  environmental impacts
• Improve Efficiency of Maritime Operations
• Maritime Security

Present and Future Maritime Traffic in the Bering
Sea and Alaska WatersGlobal Warming Energy
Needs

• Expanded oil exploration and production in
  Alaska
• Increased traffic in the Arctic Ocean and
  Bering Sea
• Larger vessels

Future GoalsAIS

• Build and operate 100 AIS receiving sites in
  Alaska including North Slope, Bering, Gulf of
  Alaska and Southeast Alaska
• Maintain Operations Center that identifies and
  provides notification of potentially dangerous
  vessel transits or events to appropriate
  parties.
• Provide data processing software that can analyze
  vessel traffic to aid risk assessment.
• Share information with Coast Guard, NOAA, State
  agencies, vessel owners, operators and
  stakeholders to aid safe, secure, efficeint and
  environmentally sound maritime operations.

Future GoalsSatellite Tracking

• Expanded carriage of satellite tracking systems
  by vessels.
• Provide software capability that can trigger
  alerts when potentially unsafe vessel transits
  are identified.
• Track potential response vessels (tugs and other
  vessels) via satellite tracking systems
