I am developing a predictive analysis tool for anchor chain scour area of freighters that accounts for water depth and tidal effects.
Utilizes AIS track data from Starboard Maritime Intelligence and tide data from Land Information New Zealand in initial model development.

I constructed a system using a pair of flask servers to transmit email between a RockBLOCK+ and a Raspberry Pi onboard ship.
The system uses an inexpensive waterproof company-facing Iridium satellite modem (RockBLOCK+) intended for IoT relay. Because the RockBLOCK+ uses Short Burst Data, anything I want to transmit is processed and compressed.
See repository for implementation details.

Python-based parser I developed for collating and formatting log reports.
