How it works
01
AIS firehose
Every AIS-broadcasting vessel within ~40 km of a coastal receiver pings its position once per minute. We ingest those broadcasts continuously.
02
Port radius lookup
For each UN/LOCODE we hold a centre point and a configurable radius (default 10 km). The geo index returns every vessel inside that circle in milliseconds.
03
Live page
Server-rendered for SEO, then live-refreshed via the same WebSocket the global map uses. Watch a port and we'll webhook you when vessels enter or leave.
All ports
32 deep-water ports across 23 countries. Grouped by region for easier browsing.
