Port, ANCHORAGE & AREA intelligence

Turn vessel movements across anchorages, ports, and regions into real business value

Combine your knowledge and experience with historical vessel movements, real-time activity, and predicted arrivals across anchorages, ports, regions, and areas to plan smarter, work more efficiently, and deliver better service.

Plan smarter

Track historical port arrivals, live vessel activity, and predicted vessel arrivals, all in one place to plan smarter.

Work more efficiently

Effective team coordination and easy access to relevant information from your mobile and laptop.

Deliver better service

Turn better planning, operational insight, and documented deliveries into better service and stronger customer relationships.

Analyze vessels movements across anchorages, ports, regions and areas

Knowing what is happening at anchorages and in ports puts you in a better position to reduce costs, spot opportunities, and make smarter investments. ShipIntel Essentials gives you an overview of vessels movements in ports so you can plan smarter, whether you provide port services, work in shipbroking, or own and operate vessels.

Find where the vessels came from, type of operation, time spent in a port and where the vessels sail when they depart

Find previous port (or STS operation). Find what kind of cargo operation they performed in a port, how much time they have spent at anchorage and in ports. When they arrive, and which port vessels sailed towards after their departure.

Predicted arrivals, live port & anchorage traffic

ShipIntel destination predictions to identify expected incoming vessels when vessels don't want to tell. Follow incoming vessels, vessels waiting at anchorage, vessels in port, and find the recent departures.

Congestion prediction models and time spent at anchorage and in ports

Use the congestion prediction models to estimate average waiting time for the next 7 and 14 days for different type and size of vessels.

Bunker prices, weather, and holidays

Find daily updated weather predictions for all ports, and bunker prices, available grades, and forward curves for those ports offering bunkers. All ports have a tide table and a holiday calendar showing local, regional and national holidays.

Largest vessel ever visited the port

Find the largest vessel that ever visited a port by vessel type; beam, LOA, summer DWT, draft, visit date, and type of cargo operation.

Receive alerts wherever you work

Receive alerts on desktop, mobile, in Microsoft Teams, or as email digests, so you get the right information at the right time.

Timing that fits your workflow

Get updates in real time or use 12- and 24-hour email digests to stay informed.

Seamlessly integrate your private data while keeping it fully secure and confidential

Shipping business runs on email and WhatsApps but the real value is hidden inside the messages, attachments, documents and inboxes.
ShipIntel turns maritime email into structured team intelligence where emails and documents are turned into connected, structured maritime intelligence, with actionable data linked to vessels and ports.

AI parsing and workflow automation

ShipIntel reads maritime email like a shipping team does identifying cargoes, vessels, ports, companies, contacts, attachments, calculations, and next actions.

Transform shared inboxes into actionable Maritime Intelligence

Connect shared inboxes to vessels, ports, cargoes, companies, contacts, documents, calculations, fixtures, schedules, and voyages helping teams classify, assign, file, search, reply, and act on every message faster.

Filing creates team knowledge

File email, attachment, notes and photos once and at the right place, so it becomes available where your team needs it: on the vessel, port, company, contact, fixture, voyage, or document folders.

Having used several competing AIS providers, we were confident in our decision to add ShipIntel Essentials to our toolbox. We are impressed with its sleek, responsive, and easy-to-use interface and we're excited to leverage its full potential in our day-to-day operations. Maritime Optima has been very attentive, listening to our needs and implementing functions we have requested.

We started using ShipIntel because we needed an AIS software and a sea route calculator. We added more features because we gained access to high-quality AIS data, smart AI searches, and a very user-friendly software at an affordable price. There are too many stand alone softwares, and we have started looking for a kind of all in one software that gives us what we need at an affordable price.

We chose ShipIntel because it is an innovative solution, easy to use, and comes with a very competitive price. We continued using ShipIntel because the Maritime Optima team continuously develop and maintain the software. We also think it is an advantage that maritime software is developed by people that have been working in the industry. So the easy to use, relevancy, high AIS quality and price makes ShipIntel a unique maritime software box.
