AIS-gap dark-fleet event dataset

HARBORSIGNALManage supplier listing

AIS-gap dark-fleet event dataset: hourly polls of every oil tanker and LNG carrier broadcasting AIS inside monitored energy-port zones, differenced poll-to-poll so that a vessel present in one poll and absent in the next without a logged departure becomes a timestamped dark-vessel event. Each event carries MMSI and vessel identity, port zone, last-seen timestamp, last-known speed and movement state (at anchor / underway), AIS identity-quality grade, port sanctions-risk tier per zone, and a 0-10 composite sanctions-risk score built from port risk, last-contact behaviour and identity quality. Latent value: an hourly vessel-presence panel across a curated port set (Ras Tanura, Singapore, Houston, Sabine Pass) plus the scored gap-event log — a labelled sanctions-evasion event series, not a raw AIS dump. Adjacent byproduct series on the same domain: a Hormuz chokepoint page, a crude-flow page, a signal feed and a live Persian Gulf vessel map.

Type

Format
Tabular / structured event records rendered as live dashboard cards and an embedded vessel map; upstream positional data arrives as AIS via a commercial vessel-tracking service. No public bulk export or developer API documented on the pages read.
Volume
The detection layer produces 24 polls per vessel-zone per day. With 3 vessels flagged in the current window across 4 monitored zones, event volume is modest — order tens of scored gap events per day, i.e. roughly 10^3-10^4 events per year. The underlying presence panel is far larger: hourly snapshots for every tanker/LNG carrier visible in four major zones implies roughly 10^5-10^6 vessel-presence observations per year — a few hundred MB of structured rows, not a big-data asset but a rare labelled one.
Users
Not disclosed, and the site is explicitly free with no paywall — About states it does not charge subscription fees, so registration is limited to the daily email-brief list. Estimate low thousands of brief subscribers (inferred from a solo 'small independent project' with a single-email-a-day funnel and no paid distribution).
History
1 years
Update frequency
not stated
Growth
Active — live same-day data at retrieval (events timestamped 06 Oct 2026 with a 'Live' badge), an expanding page set (dashboard, dark-fleet tracker, crude, Hormuz chokepoint, map, signal feed, daily brief) and an actively staffed contact structure including a dedicated data-licensing address, all indicating ongoing build rather than an abandoned demo.
Launched
~2025-2026 (footer copyright reads 2026 and all Hormuz/crisis-driven content is 2026-dated; the site also states it is still validating data utility, i.e. early-stage). Treat as a 2025-2026 build with no evidence of a pre-2025 presence.
