Spatial Data Dashboard

Overview

The Spatial Data Dashboard is a decision-support tool designed to provide the Solomon Islands Maritime Authority (SIMA) with integrated visualisation of maritime sector data. The dashboard transforms SIMA's vessel registry and operational data into dynamic, interactive visualisations that support evidence-based maritime policy and strategic planning.

Development Status

This is the first iteration of the dashboard, developed during the 16-week pilot phase (October 2025 – January 2026) based on stakeholder engagement and data assessment conducted during in-country visits to Honiara in December 2025.

We are actively seeking feedback from SIMA and associated stakeholders to refine the dashboard design, prioritise additional features, and ensure the tool meets decision-makers' information needs. Feedback gathered during this phase will inform the final dashboard specification.

The following visualisation features have already been identified as priorities for the next iteration, based on consultations with SIMA staff and in-country conversations with stakeholders:

• Fuel Consumption Density Mapping Visualisations showing fuel consumption density across the fleet.

• Vessel Route Tracking Visualisations showing which ships follow which route.

• Cargo Flow Visualisation Visualisations showing cargo density, subject to availability of cargo manifest data.

• Global Connectivity Intelligence Tracking of AIS positions to show what ships coming to Solomon Islands are doing for the rest of the time.

• Revenue Tracking Display of income from fees when ships enter international waters.

Feedback

We welcome input on:

• The relevance and utility of proposed visualisations for decision-making
• Additional metrics or visualisations required to support maritime policy and planning
• Data accessibility, interactivity, and user experience preferences
• Integration pathways with existing SIMA workflows and systems
• Feasibility and priority sequencing for dashboard development
