1. A method for maritime vessel data processing including:
- receiving at a server, a first AIS information indicative of a vessel identifier and location, said server coupled to a network;
querying a structured data source in response to said first AIS information, said data source including predetermined geographic information;
determining, as a result of said querying, vessel related operating information related to the geographic information;
altering the first AIS information to include an indicia of the results of said determining;
storing the AIS information and the indicia information in a structured data store, andcalculating, using the stored AIS information and indicia, port call performance metrics.

Abstract
A method including receiving, at a server, vessel AIS information, said AIS information including at least a vessel identifier and a vessel location. Querying a location data store in response to the vessel location, said location data store including port location information. Determining, in response to said querying, whether the vessel is in a port area or port approach area and iteratively receiving, additional AIS information which may be stored as structured data. And calculating port performance metrics in response to the location information, and transmitting those performance metrics through a network.

16. A processor readable storage device having processor readable, non-transitory, code embodied on said processor readable storage device, said code for programming one or more processors to perform a method including:
-
receiving, vessel AIS information, said AIS information including at least a vessel identifier and a vessel location; querying a location data store in response to the vessel location, said location data store including a predetermined port location information; determining, in response to said querying, whether the vessel is in a port approach area; receiving, in response to said determining, a second AIS information; storing, as structured data, location information for the vessel in response to the second AIS information, said location information indicative of locations in the port; calculating port performance metrics in response to the location information, and transmitting the performance metrics through a network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
