such as Ship Name, MMSI numbers, Lat/Log, SOG, COG.
Each ship has her own MMSI number, which is 9-digit ID, assigned and the first 3-digit numbers
mean MID (Country Code) which tells her nationality or area.

according to the ship speed, it is also easy to figure out the navigational information
such as the moving speed together with other ships.
