Crossroads of international issues, maritime domain is facing growing human activities. This increase of maritime mobilities has favoured the appearance and generalisation of cooperative position report systems such as the Automatic Identification System (AIS). Nowadays these reporting systems provide a real-time situation to ships and Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) in charge of traffic surveillance. Initially designed to ensure maritime security, the AIS system is now used to address this complementary objective – the detection of illegal or suspicious behaviours.

Mots clés: Automatic Identification System; AIS; real-time surveillance; analysing and detecting new maritime risks
