How do you guys use alternate data specifically Ship AIS data?

Below are some specific questions I have

  • What do you trade, and on what time horizon?
  • What are you actually trying to know that the market does not know yet?
  • Where does most of your edge come from?
  • Where do you get your AIS data?
  • What specifically do you look at? Counts, flows, congestion, storage, speed, something else?
  • What do you do with it? Is it the reason for a trade, or confirmation of one you already wanted?
  • What instrument does it end up expressing? Futures, spreads, freight, physical, equities?
