Find live, historical and future predictions for vessel movements. See where vessels have been trading in the past, current positions, where they are heading and destination predictions for future destinations.
Tailor-make your map by picking type of vessels, ECA zones, war zones, sea ice, weather, country zones and boundaries, canal constraints, sea routes, vessel lists, and notifications etc.
Find which vessels have been visiting the ports, incoming vessels and recent departures. Find when the vessels arrived, how long they stayed at the anchorage and in the port, where they came from and where they are heading next.
Create vessel lists; live vessel lists, position lists, manually picked vessel list, or your fleet, and custom alerts for change in destination, change in speed, ETA, course. The resources are shared within your team to support efficient collaboration.
Find the shortest sea routes and compare alternative routes. The sea routes include constraints, ice conditions, carbon emission zones and emission calculations so you can compare and pick the preferred routes. Create routes from vessels' live AIS position to any port, or from port to port.
Bulk upload your maritime contacts and attach companies and contacts to the vessels they operate, or to specific vessels and ports they are associated with.
Attach documents, technical descriptions, photos and notes to vessels and/or ports to have quick and easy access to information when you need it. The documents are always synced across your platform and shared inside your team.

Leveraging high-quality maritime data, industry knowledge and AI

Maritime Optima collects live raw AIS data from satellites, terrestrial and dynamic AIS sources. We clean, unify, and process the data in-house to provide high-quality AIS data for all types of vessels with global coverage.

We have developed a software that lets companies combine high-quality processed AIS data, enriched by other publicly available maritime data, and a sea route engine, with their proprietary data.

By applying machine learning and deep learning analytics to these data sets; in real-time as well as for historical data, we offer companies involved in maritime business the next generation decision support software.

What do our customers say?


We decided to change over to ShipIntel because it is a great and user-friendly ship tracking system with so much more. With over 50 vessels in our ship project finance portfolio, we need ship details, alerts, port info, traffic statuses and trends all the time. ShipIntel is a tool that easily gives us such information and connects our team.

Key features in ShipIntel Essentials

Predict the vessels destination

While some vessels set a destination, others don't. Therefore, we have developed a predictive model which forecasts where the vessels will sail when they say "unknown" or set a "not readable" destination.

ShipIntel predicts the countries and the ports together with an ETA based on the vessel's AIS service speed.

If the vessel sets a destination with an ETA, we also show you what the vessel says so you can compare and evaluate.

We are committed to continuously enhancing its performance and accuracy.

Live vessel (position) lists

Make live position lists based on the criteria important for you; type and size of vessels, laden or ballast, based on previously visited port, or where they are sailing or where the vessels are just now.

Find when they might be in a specific port and in which order they will arrive.

Examples:

  • Find vessels in ballast condition able to meet a laycan window in a specific port.
  • Find vessels just left a port in laden condition with a set destination.
  • Find vessels in an area “just now” and find when they will be in a specific port or region.

Monitor their performance and be notified in real-time about changes in their ETA, change of destination, sea routes etc. Each list gives you enhanced maritime insight showing where they are just now and where they have been trading in the past.

Sea route calculator with constraints and carbon emissions calculator

Though the sea route calculator is not a navigational tool for navigators, we are very proud of it. We recommend comparing the ShipIntel sea route calculator with any other sea route calculator.

You can calculate sea routes from any of the vessel's real-time AIS positions to any port or combination of ports, or you can route between ports. ShipIntel warns if you try to route a vessel through a canal or strait if the vessel is too large to pass.

Avoid ice, minimize carbon emissions, avoid canals, shortest or alternative sea routes. Find the distance, ETA, and calculated carbon emissions.

The sea route calculator is excellent for user cases such as your vessel is on its way to Itaguai with an ETA 1st of March, and your broker asks if she can go to Port Kamsar instead and asks when she will be there. Or, if you are asked to give 3 new discharge options after you have fixed the vessel, where you have to give the ETA.

Port, area and crossing lines

Monitor the live and study the historical vessel traffic in areas, regions, anchorages and ports and for crossing lines.

Find which vessels are at an anchorage or in a port just now,  and which and how many vessels are expected to arrive.

Find the average time for different types of vessels spent in specific ports.

Find which vessels have visited the ports or area in the past, how frequently specific vessels have visited specific ports or area. Find if they loaded or discharged in the ports, and where they came from and where they are going when they depart the port.

Monitor the vessels with alerts when vessels set a port destination, arrive or depart or pass specific lines (select different compass directions).

Vessel lists / fleet lists

Start to build your business intelligence system by creating vessel lists for your needs.

You can create several types of vessel lists:

  • Live vessel lists because you want to know when specific vessels arrives to a port.
  • Picking vessels because you follow their trading pattern.
  • Attach vessels to your private contact book.

On each type of vessel list you will find:

  • Some technical descriptions
  • Live AIS data with speed, cargo operation, destination predictions etc.
  • Historical AIS data showing where the vessels have been trading in the past.
  • Tailor-make smart notifications about ETA in ports, change in destination, speed, course etc.
  • Make sea routes to any of the ports for your manually calculations and estimate carbon emissions.
  • Add notes, documents, technical drawings, photos, technical data and your contacts to the vessel lists you have made.

Then you have all the information at your fingertips when you need it.

Tailor-make your map with data layers

Start by adding the type and sizes of vessels you follow mostly. Find the lat long coordinates, timestamp, current speed, whether the vessel is in ballast or laden condition, last port and next port.

Add the layers you prefer. Sea ice (updated every 24hours), ECA zones, Load Line, Maritime Judicial zones (200 – 24 and 12 nautical mile zones), war zones, piracy, Polar code, oil fields, offshore wind fields, canals and waterways. If you want some layers, you can reach out to us.

Add layers with updated marine weather every 24 hrs. with a 14-day weather forecast (wind, waves, ocean current and precipitation) or switch between satellite and default maps.

Be progressive; create vessel lists and follow the vessels in your map, create a quick sea route calculator, add notes, find a technical description of the vessels, the trading history.
