  abstract = {What does the marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel

	tracking mean for mariners at sea and operations staff on shore

	during emergency response operations? Real-time AIS and

	e-Navigation related technologies enable closer coordination between

	all involved parties. Recorded historical AIS data give insight

	into what occurred before, during, and after an incident.

	Historical AIS analysis facilitates planning for future situations

	by creating a baseline model of operational procedures, as they

	currently exist. Mariner and responder safety can be an issue from

	sudden and drastic alteration of ship traffic patterns caused by

	emergencies. By planning ahead, the community can mitigate these

	risks and improve the efficiency of the response at the same time.

	AIS has limitations for both real-time tracking and historical

	analysis that must be understood by all involved. However, when

	used appropriately, AIS is an effective emergency response tool.


	The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill was the first major oil spill

	where the US Coast Guard’s AIS ship tracking data was released to
	the

	public in real-time, and many response vessels were equipped with
	AIS

	transceivers. The Environmental Response Management Application

	(ERMA) provided the official Common Operational Picture (COP) to

	responders. The system archived more than 100 GB of AIS vessel

	positions reports from the Gulf of Mexico during the incident. This

	paper presents the history of the AIS tools behind ERMA, the initial

	investigations into how oil spill response operations progressed,
	and

	some initial lessons learned to improve future response efforts.},
