Introduction
Vessel tracking is essential for people ship operations. Whether you're a ship supplier coordinating provisions, a service provider scheduling repairs, an agent handling port calls, broker negotiating deals, or a shipyard planning maintenance, information on vessels and shipping companies can keep you ahead of the competition. Given the increasing regulatory pressures, the right tools not only track vessels but also provides intelligence.
MagicPort's Maritime Intelligence offers global AIS tracking, customizable smart alerts, sanctions check, fleet management, detailed vessel and owners/managers profiles, and more.
Vessel Tracking and Port Monitoring
Vessel tracking solutions are mainly powered by AIS (Automatic Identification System) data. These tools allow users to view vessel locations, speeds, course, and routes on interactive maps, helping predict arrivals and plan operations at ports. With MagicPort's Maritime Intelligence you can see all vessels visiting a given port and organize vessels or companies you are interested into fleets to track with smart alerts.
Key Benefits:
- Immediate insights about vessels and their past movements with smart alerts
- Visibility to plan and coordinate port call operations, supplies and services
Ship agents, suppliers and service providers can stay on top of port calls and ETAs, making the whole operation more efficient. Service providers, a bunker suppliers, pilots, or tug operators are often left waiting for ships that don’t arrive on schedule. Real-time tracking lets you see exactly when a vessel is approaching so you can be ready at the right moment, avoiding costly idle time. Live monitoring gives charterers and fleet operators a clear view of their ships, confirming they’re on track and flagging delays before they disrupt downstream logistics. Shippers and cargo owners can avoid uncertainty around delivery times.
Advanced Filters and Search Capabilities
Finding the right vessels can be hard, but smart filtering makes it simple. Our platform provides filters by vessel type, owner country, class surveys, and more, allowing targeted searches for sales, marketing, chartering and brokerage teams. In Maritime Intelligence, you can narrow down your search by criteria like technical information (net and gross tonnage, deadweight, length, flag), ownership info, class surveys, ship building and engine info, certificates, and also past vessel movements.
Key Benefits:
- Targeted outreach to vessels matching your services or needs
- Find vessels you need quickly without manual work, saving valuable time
For instance, a broker could filter vessels by vessel specifics including dimensions, technical details, ownership and past movements.
Sanctions Checks
Sanctions is a key risk in the maritime industry. Dealing with a sanctioned vessel and shipping company has huge financial, legal and reputational risks, no matter where your company is located. Many ship agents, suppliers, service providers, even some large shipping companies, play with fire when it comes to sanctions compliance. They may think they are too small to be on the radar for sanctioning bodies. Actually, regulators often enforce sanctions to establish deterrence, and financial institutions have extensive compliance systems. Dealing with a sanctioned entity may result in your bank account being frozen and, in some cases, even criminal investigations.
MagicPort’s Maritime Intelligence's highlights sanctioned vessels and companies. You can also search vessels, companies, and individuals against more than three hundred databases including OFAC, EU Sanctions Lists, UK Sanctions List, UN Security Council Consolidated Lists. Our risk assessment also considers past port calls.
Key Benefits:
- Pro-active sanctions risk monitoring, avoid transactions with prohibited parties
- Integrate sanctions compliance with your regular workflows, avoid repetitive manual work in compliance.
Ship Owner and Manager Contacts
MagicPort’s Maritime Intelligence also includes email addresses and phone numbers of shipping companies in charge of vessels. This enables suppliers and service providers, also other parties who might be interested in these vessels, such as charterers or brokers, to reach out to shipping companies directly.
For example when a charterer or broker finds the vessels they are interested using MagicPort’s advanced vessel search, they can use the contact information to reach out to ship owner and manager to see if their vessel might be open and available. Similarly, ship suppliers and service providers are able to reach out to vessels around their ports if they have a relevant service offering that might be interesting for these shipping companies.
