Capabilities
Everything your ops team needs
From raw position data to intelligence-grade analysis
Real-time positions
Live AIS data refreshed continuously. Filter by bounding box, vessel type, or Class A/B. Query via REST or subscribe to a persistent SSE stream for map overlays.
Entry / exit alerts
Get emailed or texted the moment a tracked vessel crosses any port boundary. Set up in under two minutes. Configurable cooldown prevents alert fatigue.
Port congestion score
0–100 index benchmarked against the 30-day baseline per port. Know before you call the dispatcher whether Dutch Harbor is slammed or running clear.
Dark ship detection
Flag vessels that went AIS-silent unexpectedly. Configurable gap threshold. Exportable CSV for compliance teams, P&I clubs, and incident reports.
400-day archive
Export historical positions per MMSI in CSV or JSON at 5-minute resolution, up to 31 days per request. Used by insurers for incident reconstruction.
No-code fleet dashboard
Paste your MMSI list. See your entire fleet on a live Leaflet map, color-coded by status, auto-refreshing every 30 seconds. No API integration required.
