This paper explores how high frequency automatic identification system data can be leveraged to assess the near real-time impacts of typhoons on maritime activity.

The analysis centers on Typhoon Phanfone, which struck the Philippines in December 2019. Using a Bayesian structural time series model to analyze daily ship traffic, the study quantifies disruptions at ports affected by typhoons. The proposed framework provides a valuable tool for rapid impact assessment, aiding disaster risk management, port operations planning, and resource allocation.
