DATA SERVICES
The power of MariTrace in your application.
At MariTrace we have developed a library of high performance APIs to manage and analyse the vast quantities of data generated by global shipping.
OUR APIS
Shipping technology is booming, and we want to make these APIs available to developers and data teams across the industry to accelerate adoption of new and exciting applications.
Our APIs take care of the heavy lifting involved with using shipping data, allowing teams to focus resources on delivering applications to industry.
SHIP POSITION DATA
This API returns cleaned AIS data for any number of vessels. The update frequency is customisable to adapt to any project's scope and budget.
Each API call returns
Vessel name
Vessel IMO
Vessel MMSI
Vessel call sign
Position date
Latitude
Longitude
Navigation Status
Rate of turn
Speed over ground
Course over ground
True heading
Ship type
Dimension to bow
Dimension to stern
Dimension to port
Dimension to starboard
ETA
Draught
Destination
PORT CALLS
A structured list of individual shipping movements
This API returns a structured data set of all individual shipping movements that satisfy a given criteria, for example all movements of a particular ship type, or all exports from a given port.
Each record includes details of the port (including terminal and berth, where available), the dates of entry and exit, and vessel details.
LOCATION DETAILS
Reverse Maritime Geocoding for any coordinates
This API draws on our extensive polygon database, including details on approximately 7,500 ports worldwide, to return information about which of the following areas that position falls within:
Ocean / Sea
EEZ
Port Area
Berth
SHIP DESTINATIONS
Machine learning driven vessel destination prediction
This API uses a series of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to return the most likely destination for any given vessel.
ROUTE FINDER
Returns the route and distance between any two points at sea
This API provides a high speed calculation of the sea route and distance between any two points at sea. Input data can either be a lat/lon position, or one of our 7,500 ports worldwide.
The high speed of the calculation allows this API to be combined with vessel location data to provide up-to-date distance and ETA estimates for one or multiple ships in real time.
RISK ASSESSMENTS
Assess the piracy risk rating for a given route or vessel position
This API takes the proposed route of a vessel and returns details of the risk along that route from piracy or crime at sea at each waypoint. An additional API returns the current risk to any given vessel from piracy or crime at sea, based on its current position and status. We can also return the projected risk to any given vessel from piracy or crime at sea, at 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours hence, based on its proposed route and status.
Data is available in an RTZ compliant XML file for integration with other navigation systems.
