[PVR01] Port Visits Using Real-Time Shipping Data

Automatic Identification System (AIS) data are supplied by the Task Team on AIS Data of the UN Committee of Experts on Big data and Data Science for Official Statistics, and accessed through the UN Global Platform (UNGP) which holds a global repository of live and archived AIS data. The main benefit of this data source is the production of timelier statistics.
Please note that current CSO analysis does show up differences between the AIS based estimates and official statistics. The CSO continues to develop and produce experimental statistics for port traffic in parallel with the official statistics.
This table summarises the results of seven main Irish ports areas:
1. Bantry Bay Maritime Area
2. Drogheda Maritime Area
3. Dublin Maritime Area
4. Shannon Foynes Maritime Area
5. Cork Maritime Area
6. Rosslare Maritime Area
7. Waterford Maritime Area
