Maritime businesses operate on the sea or in ports. They include shipping companies, tour operators, and even fishing vessels. The maritime industry is a global one, with a large number of ports and vessels to monitor around the world.
People involved in the above mentioned activities need automated tools to track down vessels throughout the world, and developers are concerned about finding a good basis for their job, namely a reliable vessel traffic information software that can ease down their clients´ business.
Vessel Traffic Information API is a powerful API that helps get all the information about any ship at any time anywhere. This API gathers all the data about a vessel: position, destination, cargo, crew and more. Vessel Traffic Information API is the best way to learn about any ship or ships throughout the world.
Vessel Traffic Information API works with an easy-to-use user interface that makes it easy for anyone to operate it. This API is perfect for maritime businesses that need to track vessels for various purposes: safety, security, timing estimates, shipping planning, etc.
It´s a difficult task for the maritime business to track down information manually, and costly if one needs sophisticated equipment for the purpose. There are a lot of regulations and paperwork that needs to be done. But this API can make life easier by helping get the information faster and more efficiently. As a matter of fact, the user gets real-time and updated data on ship movements and maritime traffic, and even on weather conditions and other factors that can impact the business.
Empower Your Maritime Business With This API
The software guarantees accuracy of updated data in real-time on ship movements so as to track vessels, plan routes, and more, as it furnishes a full report on any ship at any time, including vessel name, type, IMO number, flag, length, draft, engine power, speed, and depth. Besides one can learn about the port, heading, arrivals, departures, not just of one´s vessel but also of the competition´s.
The API is easily integrated in any system and any application, and provides an easy way to access all the sensitive information one needs to empower one´s maritime business.
The software has three endpoints to access specific data for the user to choose the one he needs. In this case we have chosen as an example GET POSITION, which provides such data as: area, current port, latitude and longitude, navigational status, speed, course and AIS source.
The API integrates Vessel AIS which enhances real-time situational awareness and Track & Trace, which allow to monitor vessel performance by providing: IMO and MMSI code, flag, name, length, width, type, call sign, ETA, destination and last known position.
