AISHub is a community of AIS enthusiasts, researchers and developers who share data from their own receivers. Share your station and get free access in return.
What you need
- At least one raw AIS feed in NMEA format from a receiver you operate. More sources are always welcome.
- Only data you receive yourself. We do not accept:
- synthesized or artificially generated data;
- scraped or stolen data;
- data taken from public AIS services.
What you get
- Every member: free access to the AISHub map and statistics for your station.
- Members with a good station: an API key for the combined data (one request per minute). Your station needs:
- at least 10 vessels in coverage (7-day average);
- at least 90% uptime (7-day average);
- no more than 60 seconds downsampling;
- no more than 10 seconds message delay.
The rules in short
- Sharing data: only real data from your own AIS receiver. You keep your rights, allow us to combine and share the data, and can stop at any time.
- Using data: we encourage you to build new websites, apps, analyses, research and your own products with AISHub data, including for commercial use. Credit the people who make it possible with "Data: AISHub contributors" and a link to https://www.aishub.net.
- Raw data: passing on the raw data to others, for free or for money, is not allowed. Anyone who needs it is welcome to join AISHub with their own station.
- Everyone: the data comes from volunteers, is provided as is and must not be used for navigation.
