Vessel tracking and voyage data

  • Live vessel tracking on an interactive map — position, speed, course, heading, ETA, and navigational status monitored as they happen
  • Full voyage data including origin and destination ports, reported and calculated ETA, departure time, distance travelled, and idle time — a complete picture of voyage progress
  • Route forecasts and waypoint ETAs to anticipate arrivals and plan port-call and downstream logistics decisions earlier
  • Historical positions and port-call history to review past movements, compare behaviour over time, and understand operational context

Fleet monitoring

  • Track up to 5,000 vessels per fleet — monitoring large owned, operated, chartered, or watched vessel groups without searching vessel by vessel
  • Group vessels into operational fleet views separating owned fleets, chartered vessels, customer fleets, competitor vessels, and watchlists
  • Custom fleet dashboards to review current vessel status, fleet activity, and voyage progress from one focused view — no manual checks required
  • Presentation mode for control rooms, offices, and management teams to follow live fleet movements from a shared screen

Notifications

  • Noon and midnight position reports to stay updated on vessel location and status at regular intervals
  • Speed, course alteration, and stoppage alerts to identify unexpected behaviour, route changes, or delays as they happen
  • Draught, destination, and ETA change monitoring so commercial, operational, and logistics teams can adjust plans when voyage information changes
  • Vessel-to-vessel proximity alerts to identify close encounters, possible STS activity, or situations requiring further review

Vessel events

  • AIS-reported changes across status, ETA, destination, course, draught, name, flag, and timezone — a structured record of when key vessel information changed
  • Port and berth events including arrivals, departures, docking, and undocking — understanding port-call and terminal activity in full context
  • Area-based events spanning ECAs, piracy zones, straits, standard geographic areas, custom areas, and custom lines
  • Behaviour-based events including vessel proximity, pilot events, tug operations, and noon and midnight positions — investigating activity between standard voyage milestones

Playback

  • Replay up to 5 years of vessel movements — analysing past voyages, incident timelines, route behaviour, and historical movement patterns
  • Playback navigation controls to pause, speed up, reverse, or drag the timeline to a specific moment for precise review
  • View nearby vessels during playback to understand the wider maritime context around a vessel, fleet, or area of interest
  • Support incident, claims, and dispute review with a consistent way to reconstruct vessel activity beyond static screenshots or manual explanations

Vessel particulars & ownership

  • Validate vessel characteristics including IMO, gross tonnage, type, class, dimensions, and min/max draught — confirming operational suitability before making commercial or logistics decisions
  • Access capacity details including GT, DWT, TEU, and CBM alongside build year, shipyard, and first received AIS position for deeper vessel assessment
  • Review registered owner, beneficial owner, commercial manager, and technical manager information — understanding every layer of vessel control and responsibility
  • Combine ownership with movement history and vessel events to support due diligence, underwriting, chartering, and risk review from a complete vessel profile
