4 min walkthrough of Nearby Vessels

Nearby Vessels in Maritime Intelligence lists every vessel currently within a radius you set, in nautical miles, around one or more ports, based on the latest reported positions. Use it to see what is around a port right now, rather than only what is scheduled to arrive.

  1. Open Nearby Vessels

    Click Vessel Intelligence in the top navigation, then the Nearby Vessels tab.

  2. Choose one or more ports

    Click Search for port(s), type a port name and pick it from the list, for example ROTTERDAM (NLRTM). Add more ports if you want to cover a wider area.

  3. Set the distance

    In Nearby (nm), enter the radius around the port in nautical miles, for example 5. This field is required. If you leave it empty you see “The nm field is required.”

  4. Click Show Results

    Click Show Results. The table lists every vessel inside the radius. The count under the table tells you how many there are, for example “Showing 1 to 25 of 217 vessels”.

  5. Narrow the list

    Click Filter Vessels to restrict the results, for example to tankers only by clicking Select All under Tanker. Click Show Results in the panel to apply. See Narrow results with advanced filters.

  6. Hide risky vessels

    If you only want vessels without a sanctions risk, turn on Hide risky vessels above the table. See Vessel risk statuses.

  7. Save, export or act on the results
