This is great work.
There are a lot of really impressive technology projects out there that focus on crowdsourcing data like this. ADS-B (for aircraft), $this->AIS, ATCS (railroads), radio communications etc.
What's even more amazing is how these project inspire new uses of the data for media, intelligence, politics, investment analysis etc.

Do you know one for ATCS? I've been looking this week and haven't found any.

Would be interesting to see this shipping data joined w/ other macroeconomic indicators like foreign investment, trade deficit/surplus, and +/- GDP...could be a good way to spot emerging markets
It is an online high-available database (running on Cassandra) capable of archiving multiple terabytes of AIS-data with an insert rate of > 100.000 messages/minute. Besides the archiving mechanism is features an export tools, simple analytical capabilities based on time, geography and identity. In also supports simple real-time (less than 1 second) queries based on small time intervals, limited geographical areas, or single ships.
Besides AisStore there is a lot of other AIS tools in https://github.com/dma-ais Unfortunately, the department I was consulting for has been closed. So the projects are dormant.
Also happy to answer any questions.
