Cooperation between the Norwegian Coastal Administration and EMSA on satellite detected AIS data has been strengthened further thanks to an agreement, recently signed by EMSA’s Executive Director and the Director General of the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA), Kirsti Slotsvik.
Through this agreement, EMSA will continue to receive Norwegian Satellite-AIS data collected by their national constellation. The Norwegian SAT-AIS data will be made available to EMSA users free of charge. The NCA will also start receiving a data feed from EMSA, which EMSA receives from a commercial SAT-AIS provider through a framework contract.
Norway is an active participating member state in the EU Satellite-AIS Collaborative Forum, chaired by EMSA. The forum is a platform for cooperation between European states investing in Satellite-AIS and EMSA.
