In the version of this article initially published, Fernando S. Paolo was presented in the author list without a middle initial. Also, in the “SAR and AIS integration” section of Methods, in the sentence “To determine the optimal score, we estimated the total number of vessels with AIS devices that should have appeared in the scenes globally by summing R(length, spacing)Lmatch for all scenes”, “Lmatch” should have been “Linside”. The errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
