you may see instances when additional metadata is available from Global Fishing Watch. GFW synthesizes more than 30 public vessel registries to develop a comprehensive database of known vessel information.
This is particularly helpful in cases where a vessel is missing its vessel type in AIS, but there is additional information in registry sources aggregated through GFW’s efforts.
It is possible for there to be multiple records in Global Fishing Watch matching the same vessel. Skylight uses a combination of MMSI, Name and IMO to look for matches in the GFW database. When there are multiple records, there will be a page button to scroll between records:
