We would love some form of vessel presence data, similar to what can be found on your online map tool. I know your FAQ says the raw AIS data cannot be made available, but a raster summarised version of vessel presence like # hours present in a cell per MMSI would be amazing

Hi Taiki,
Thanks for your message, this is a great use case, and I’m happy to share that AIS Vessel Presence is already live and available via our 4Wings API. The dataset provides gridded summaries of AIS-derived vessel presence, including total hours in a cell by gear type, vessel ID, or flag.
You can find more details and examples here:

Cheers,
