Data Completeness

Currently, we rely on terrestrial data, but we are actively exploring partnerships with satellite data providers to enhance our services in the future.

Our API provides:

  • Identifiers: Vessel name, IMO, MMSI, ENI, and callsign.
  • Navigational Data: Navigational status, destination, course, heading, and speed.
  • Positional Data: Latitude, longitude, and current draught.
  • Timings: Estimated time of arrival, actual time of departure, and port of departure.
  • Vessel Specifications: Type, subtype, gross tonnage, deadweight, TEU, liquid gas capacity, length, breadth, and year built.

Data Overuse Protection

All plans and endpoints include built-in Overuse Protection.

Each successful API request counts toward your monthly limit. For example, if your Live Vessel Tracker API plan includes 10,000 requests and you query data for 100 vessels, 100 requests will be deducted, leaving you with 9,900.

A warning will be sent when your limit nears, and once reached, requests will be blocked until the next monthly reset. We provide tailored plans to suit your data consumption needs.
