Hi All,

    I didn’t know if any of you had run across this before:




Hello!

I am hoping you can help direct us on finding some data. The researcher is currently working to launch an interactive map that will feature a layer on trade that traverses the Indian Ocean Region. As a result, we are seeking data on maritime trade that crosses the Indian ocean, as well as maritime trade from each of the region's littoral and island states. Ideally, we would be able to sub-divide this data into energy shipments and "other" shipments.

We are finding ways that accomplish this goal by paying for ship tracking data, but we are wondering if you have advice on how to achieve this goal using open-source data, or databases we already have access to? This map from CSIS may help give you an idea of what we are looking to find:
