Abstract

Indonesia, as a maritime country, depends on ports to support inter-island transport and a smooth regional economy. So, the awareness of knowing the marine status with various platforms is needed. This research distinguishes itself from several previous studies on ship movement detection by concentrating specifically on anomalies in ship movement within areas of high traffic density. This research proposes to find out the ship density area using the grid technique and identify the anomalies that have occurred, as information on ship movements at Tanjung Priok Port. Anomaly detection is done by looking for it through visualization, where AIS data is converted into a form of visualization using the Python language. The results obtained two pieces of information, namely that the areas with the highest density are around the harbor, docks, and ship lanes. Then, two types of anomalies were detected, namely large ships with dangerous cargo speeding in dense areas and ships that behave differently compared to other ships with the same status.
