We have used ShipIntel for more than a year now with great success.

In the beginning we only needed to see the positions of the fleet we work with, but overtime our requirements has increased and the team in Maritime Optima has always been very fast to implement our suggestions free of charge.

Historical AIS Data

Unlimited access to any of the vessels voyage history. A log is attached to each vessel showing where the vessel have been trading in the past. Each voyage leg is marked with "assume laden" or "assume ballast".

Precalc & Compare

Save hours each day doing pre-voyage calculations. Quickly make pre voyage calculations for a list of vessels and cargoes and compare their TCE, or you can set the TCE and ShipIntel will calculate the freight you need. If you have tankers you can also calculate round voyages. Add cargoes or vessels and compare with your bench marks. Works for dry cargo, tankers and LPG but it might also be useful for chemicals and LNG vessels.

A perfect broker and chartering module. Save hours each day by synking your contact book and tag contacts and companies to fleet lists. Drag and drop your contacts and companies from Outlook as vcf files or bulk upload contacts and tag them to vessels or list of vessels. View the vessels in your list in the map with live AIS positions. Available on mobile and laptop. Call via WhatsApp or phone from your mobile.

Be notified about canal constraints. Get long lat coordinates, the distances in nautical miles, the live speed of the vessels, calculates the days in sea, and the ETA to the intended port. Add layers of information to your sea route like war zones, ECA /SECA zones, Exclusive Economic Zones, Marine weather, etc. Save the sea routes, and send sea routes to external partners.

Position List

Find a probability model showing the likeliness of vessels arriving at the port based on trading pattern. Get warnings if a vessel might not be relevant for your cargo. Add notes, fixtures, or other engagements to the vessels and get their next open/available position. Use the auto re-compute to update the position lists or you can manually update the position list.

Monitoring and Notifications

The module for monitoring and notifications for ports and areas is a must-have for everyone working in the maritime industry.  You will find statistics on time spent in ports for specific types of vessels. Find the vessels in port, vessels waiting at anchorage, recent departures, and vessels expected to arrive. Be notified when vessels set a destination with ETA and later changes in destination. Find the type of vessels trading in specific areas like AG, the Mediterranean Sea, the Norwegian Exclusively Economical Zone, war zones etc.

You will quickly get an understanding of the vessels current operations, last ports and next destination and their ETAs. You will also get estimates of whether the vessels are in laden or ballast condition and the predicted destination.

Questionnaires

Get started by uploading data from the ShipIntel database and create your private questionnaire template for free. The information you add later is only available to you and your colleagues. If you add data, you will improve the quality of your vessel search since the search algorithms have better data for their search, and you will save time when calculating sea routes and pre-voyage calculation. The best thing is that you will always have a updated questionnaire in your pocket.
