Maritime Data Integration That Actually Works
Ever tried to make sense of data from 47 different ports, 1,247 vessels, and three separate weather APIs—all while your logistics team is screaming for updates? We built a system that pulls it all together. No magic. Just reliable integration that keeps your operations moving.
1,247 Vessels Connected
Live AIS feeds from every major shipping line—no more manual updates or guesswork about vessel positions.
98.3% Uptime
Our processing engine handles 12,000 data points per minute—with redundancy built in. (Yes, we've stress-tested it.)
47 Ports Covered
From Dover to Dubai—we pull data from every major UK port and beyond. Custom integrations available for niche terminals.
Where the Data Comes From
We don't just connect to the easy sources. Our system pulls from:
Vessel Tracking
- Live AIS feeds (Class A and B transponders)
- Satellite AIS for open ocean coverage
- Vessel traffic services (VTS) from 37 ports
- Port authority APIs (real-time berth assignments)
Port Operations
- Terminal operating systems (TOS)
- Customs declarations (CHIEF/CDS)
- Dangerous goods manifests
- Cargo handling equipment telemetry
Environmental Data
- NOAA weather forecasts (3-hour intervals)
- Tidal predictions (UK Hydrographic Office)
- Wave height and wind speed (Met Office)
- Port-specific microclimate data
Logistics & Customs
- Haulier GPS tracking (opt-in)
- Customs release status
- Inventory management systems
- Freight forwarder APIs
How We Process It All
Raw data is useless. Here's what happens after we pull it:
Normalization
We map 47 different port data formats to a single schema. (Yes, even that weird XML format Felixstowe uses.)
Validation
Automated checks catch errors before they hit your dashboard—like vessels reporting impossible speeds or duplicate cargo IDs.
Enrichment
We add context: weather delays, port congestion scores, and historical averages for every data point.
The Processing Pipeline
Our system handles:
- 12,000 data points per minute (peak)
- 99.9% of data processed in under 2 seconds
- Automatic failover between three data centers
- GDPR-compliant data handling (we're based in Dover, not Delaware)
What You Actually See
No one wants to stare at spreadsheets. Our dashboards show:
Real-Time Vessel Tracking
- Live positions with 5-minute updates
- Predicted arrival times (with confidence intervals)
- Berth availability and queue status
- Weather impact overlays
Port Operations View
- Cargo handling progress (by vessel and terminal)
- Customs clearance status
- Equipment utilization rates
- Dangerous goods storage locations
Logistics Coordination
- Haulier ETAs with traffic delays
- Container availability by terminal
- Last-mile delivery tracking
- Inventory levels at port warehouses
Reports That Don't Suck
We generate reports you'll actually use—not just pretty PDFs that sit in a folder.
Daily Operations
- Vessel arrival forecasts
- Cargo handling progress
- Equipment utilization
- Weather impact assessments
Weekly Analytics
- Port congestion trends
- Dwell time analysis
- Customs clearance times
- Haulier performance
Custom Reports
- Dangerous goods compliance
- Carbon emissions tracking
- Demurrage cost analysis
- Your KPIs—we'll build it
How It Works
1. Pick your report type (or ask us to create one)
2. Set your filters—date ranges, ports, vessel types, whatever
3. Choose your format: PDF, Excel, or live dashboard link
4. Schedule it—daily, weekly, or on-demand
(We'll even email it to your team automatically.)
Alerts That Actually Help
We don't just send alerts—we send useful ones. Here's what triggers notifications:
Vessel Delays
- ETA changes > 2 hours
- Weather-related speed reductions
- Port congestion delays
- Customs holds
Port Operations
- Berth availability changes
- Equipment failures
- Dangerous goods storage issues
- Tidal restrictions
Logistics Issues
- Haulier delays > 30 minutes
- Container availability shortages
- Warehouse capacity limits
- Customs release delays
How You Get Alerts
- Email (with actionable details)
- SMS for critical issues
- Dashboard notifications
- Slack/Teams integrations
- API for your own systems
(We'll never spam you with "everything's fine" messages.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Most integrations are live in 4-6 weeks. We start with your highest-priority data sources (usually AIS and port systems) and expand from there. (We've done it enough times to know the shortcuts.)
We've worked with everything from ancient EDI systems to modern REST APIs. Our team includes specialists in maritime data formats—we'll figure it out. (And yes, we've dealt with that weird XML format Felixstowe uses.)
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We're based in the UK and fully GDPR-compliant. Our systems are hosted in ISO 27001-certified data centers with 24/7 monitoring. (We take security seriously—our clients include customs agencies and port authorities.)
Absolutely. We start with our standard maritime dashboard, then customize it for your specific needs. Want to track carbon emissions? Haulier performance? Dangerous goods compliance? We'll build it.
You'll get a dedicated account manager plus 24/7 technical support. We monitor system health proactively—often fixing issues before you notice them. (Our average response time is 12 minutes for critical issues.)
