In today’s global supply chain environment, real-time shipment visibility is no longer a luxury – it’s a competitive necessity. AIS-based tracking, combined with historical data analysis and detailed vessel type information, enables logistics teams and researchers to diagnose bottlenecks, model disruptions, and design more resilient, data-driven supply chain strategies.
Commodities Trading
The ocean is the world’s energy highway. Nearly half of all seaborne cargo is crude oil, LNG, and refined fuels – a vast flow that drives the global economy. For analysts and research teams, AIS data, ETA calculations, and detailed port call histories enable systematic tracking of these flows, supporting market studies, forecasting, and data-driven trading strategies.
Vessel Performance Monitoring
Every voyage generates valuable operational signals hidden in vessel movement patterns. For engineers, analysts, and research teams, AIS data or VDES provides the transparency needed to study performance, benchmark behaviour, model fuel consumption, and evaluate emission reduction strategies – supporting evidence-based optimization of fleet operations and maintenance planning.
Offshore Wind & Critical Infrastructure
With the growing expansion of offshore wind farms, subsea cables, and other critical maritime assets, AIS data and GNSS informations offers valuable insights for operators, authorities, and research teams. It enables systematic monitoring, supports impact and safety studies, and underpins evidence-based strategies to protect infrastructure and ensure safe, compliant offshore operations.
Insurance
Every voyage carries uncertainty – and every decision relies on accurate data. For marine underwriters, risk modelers, and research teams alike, AIS data and NAVTEX offers a clear, continuous record of ship movements, providing a robust foundation for transparent, data-driven maritime risk analysis, studies, and evidence-based decision making.
