This document outlines the development of a real-time ship tracking system using AIS data that will allow users to view ships broadcasting their identity, position, course, speed and destination on an interactive map. The system will display individual vessel information with a single click and allow filtering ships by type, course, speed and other selection criteria. It will also show additional port details as the user zooms in. The goal is for users to be able to monitor ship movements in Sri Lankan waters from a desktop application in real-time.
