Fleet Positions API
The latest AIS position and voyage data for a list of vessels you define
Overview
Fleet Positions - the VesselsList service in the API - returns current position and voyage data for a list of vessels you configure once. You call the API on the schedule your subscription allows, and every response carries the latest data for the whole fleet.
The request carries no vessel identifiers. You do not send the list with each call, it is held on our side. One request returns every vessel on it.
Coverage is Terrestrial AIS in coastal waters, ports and principal shipping lanes. Responses in JSON.
API Coverage Map
Available Datasets

Pricing
A monthly subscription. No credits, and nothing metered per request. Three factors determine the fee. Tell us those three and we will send you a price:
- How many vessels you track
- Which datasets you include
- How often you call the API
Sample use cases

2) A 50-vessel fleet with last-port detail, every six hours. One call every six hours returns position and voyage data - including last port and time of departure for all fifty vessels. Monthly price: 200 EUR
3) A 300-vessel fleet, checked every hour. One call every hour returns the AIS dataset of all vessels in a single JSON response. Fleet size does not change the number of calls you make. Monthly price: 535 EUR
