Analysing UK port and shipping operations using big data

Analysing UK port and shipping operations using big data

datasciencecampus/off-course

This project provides the material to support the work undertaken by the Data Science Campus to explore the operation, use and relationships between ports in the UK at a macro level and the behaviour and operational characteristics of ships at a micro level.

Specifically we explore:

  • ship travelling behaviours
  • traffic at ports and related factors
  • port capacity utilisation
  • national and international port relationships
  • inbound ship delays

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Consolidated European Reporting System (CERS) data sets, provided by Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), were used for this study.
