Port & Area Monitoring

Time is money in shipping, and it is important to monitor vessels expected arrivals, and the average time the vessels spend at anchorage and in ports.

There might be several reasons for vessel queuing up like delays at the berths, technical problems with the port facilities, pilot strikes, sickness, lack of cargo etc., and incidents like these might rapidly lead to a traffic blockage. When vessels are queuing up at anchorage that means congestion, and congestion might mean loss of time and money.

In ShipIntel you can monitor expected arrivals to any port which helps you estimate expected congestion. You can also find which vessels have arrived at an anchorage or a port and find the average time they spend there, sorted by type of vessels (for example tankers) and sizes (for example Aframax).

You will also find which vessels and how many vessels are passing specific lines or arriving or depart different areas like war zones, countries or shipping areas.

Monitor AIS vessel traffic at anchorages, ports and areas

Find which vessels are reported incoming

Find how many and which vessels are reported incoming to a port or an area. Be notified when vessels set a destination or later change it.

Detailed port statistics

Analyze the congestion at specific anchorages and ports. Find the vessel by name and segment, but also the numbers.

Vessel line-crossing alerts

Find which and how many vessels have crossed specific lines (like Passero and the Strait of Gibraltar), during the last 24 hours. Receive alerts when vessels are crosses the lines.

Select the area you want to explore

Analyze vessel traffic in pre-defined areas like canals, EEZ, ECA, war zones and shipping areas. Find which vessels and how many vessels there are in the specific areas you want to follow.

Live AIS port traffic

View vessels at anchorage and ports in tables or visualized in your map. Be notified when vessels arrive anchorages and ports or if they leave.
