AIS+ Tracking 

AIS+ == enhanced AIS data qualtiy
AI + AIS to achieve maritime excellence

Setting up your own AIS (Automatic Identification System) network is easier and more effective than you might think. With our support, you can take full control of your maritime data. Here’s why it’s a smart choice:

Simple Setup, Full Support

We provide high-quality AIS receivers and offer step-by-step assistance in setting up, running, and maintaining your network. Whether you’re a maritime enthusiast, a business, or an organization, we’ll ensure your AIS network is up and running smoothly.

Complete Control Over Your Data

By owning your AIS network, you decide:

  • Who receives your data.
  • Which companies or individuals you choose to share it with.
  • Where your data goes—and where it doesn’t.

This level of control ensures your data stays secure, private, and used according to your terms—not someone else’s.

Enhanced Data Security

In a world where data is power, safeguarding your information is critical. Setting up your own AIS network means you:

  • Retain full ownership of your data.
  • Prevent third parties from making decisions on your behalf.
  • Protect your data from unauthorized use or access.

Take Ownership—Don’t Let Others Decide for You!

When you rely on external providers, you lose control over how your data is handled and shared. By creating your own AIS network, you stay in the driver’s seat, ensuring your data works for you and your goals.

Optimizing Port Calls with High-Frequency AIS Data

High-frequency AIS (Automatic Identification System) data delivers real-time insights into a ship’s position, speed, and course, enabling port operators to optimize port calls effectively. By monitoring a vessel’s journey, operators can anticipate arrival times, prepare resources, and streamline operations.

Once a ship is in port, AIS data can track critical milestones, such as cargo loading/unloading and departure times. Combined with patented port event logging systems, operators can capture precise timestamps for every stage of the port call, including:

  • Pilot On Board Time
  • Tugboat Mobilization/Demobilization
  • Number of Tugboats Used
  • Arrival Time at Berth
  • Departure Timestamp

This detailed tracking creates a comprehensive record of the port call process. Analyzing this data allows for the identification of inefficiencies and bottlenecks, providing actionable insights to optimize future port calls and improve overall operational efficiency.

Leveraging AI, LLMs, and ML with AIS Data

AIS (Automatic Identification System) data forms the foundation for harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Machine Learning (ML) in maritime operations. By collecting and analyzing high-frequency AIS data, these advanced technologies can uncover patterns, predict behaviors, and optimize processes at an unprecedented scale.

  • AI can process vast amounts of AIS data in real-time, identifying trends and anomalies that enhance decision-making for route optimization, traffic management, and port efficiency.
  • LLMs can interpret and generate natural language insights from AIS data, turning complex information into actionable reports and facilitating smoother communication across stakeholders.
  • ML algorithms can be trained on historical AIS data to predict ship arrival times, assess congestion risks, and recommend resource allocation strategies to improve efficiency.

Collecting and maintaining a robust AIS data network is the first step toward unlocking the transformative potential of these technologies, driving innovation and operational excellence in the maritime industry.

Workboats, Tugs & Pilot Vessel

Porttracker.co provides a comprehensive workboat monitoring solution that enables you to track and manage your entire fleet, both inside and outside the port. Our advanced system measures all workboat activities and calculates fuel consumption, allowing you to optimize the efficiency of your fleet and individual vessels.

  • Tugassistance in port, including timestamps, ship reference, operator info and terminal
  • Sailing speeds, split in light- and operational sailing
  • Fuel consumption, -cost and emissions of your fleet
  • Operator profiling, market shares and fleet utilization

 

In addition, our electronic logbook feature automates the process of tracking all activities of your fleet without the need for manual input from captains. This means that all important information, such as voyage data, fuel consumption, and maintenance records, are accurately recorded and easily accessible in one place.

Porttracker.co provides an innovative solution to estimate Fuel Consumption, Waste Fuel and  all emissions within a port or surrounding area in near real-time. Our advanced Activity-based emissions modeling system is based on the standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Our open-source toolkit enables everyone to estimate emissions inside ports or areas with maritime traffic we can estimate emissions from ships, trucks, and other port-related activities. By analyzing this data, you can gain a better understanding of the environmental impact of your port operations and identify areas where emissions can be reduced.

Porttracker.co offers an advanced Tugboat Scheduling Algorithm, powered by Linear Programming (LP), to help you efficiently manage your port operations. Our system takes ETA and ETD data and generates optimized activity plans for the next hours or days, ensuring that your tugboat operations are streamlined and effective.

Our LP-based algorithm takes into account various factors such as fleet size, available resources, and port environment, to create schedules that are tailored to your specific needs. We use a target function to verify the feasibility of the schedule and ensure that all working constraints are met.

To achieve optimal results, we provide support for both commercial solvers like Cplex, Gurobi, and Xpress, as well as open-source solvers like GLPK, CBC, and SCIP. This ensures that you have the flexibility to use the solver that works best for your specific requirements.

Our Tugboat Scheduling Algorithm is designed to make your job easier, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of your port operations. By automating the scheduling process, you can improve efficiency, reduce delays, and ultimately increase profitability.

Experience the power of our LP-based Tugboat Scheduling Algorithm for yourself. Contact us today to learn more about how Porttracker.co can help you optimize your port operations and take your business to the next level.

By utilizing Porttrackers ETA List in conjunction with our vessel history data, you can gain valuable insights into vessel schedules and past performance. This information empowers you to identify upcoming vessels that need services or products from you. Furthermore, our extensive Owners, Managers, and Operator Database provides you with direct access to relevant contact information. This enables you to reach out to the appropriate individuals, initiate negotiations, and secure favorable pricing. Our goal is to streamline the process, ensuring that you can efficiently communicate with the right people and ultimately close deals more effectively. Moreover, our advanced monitoring capabilities go beyond simple spot hunting. They provide you with a competitive edge by keeping you informed about your industry rivals. You can track their activities and gauge the extent to which you’ve outperformed them, thereby gaining valuable insights into market trends and potential opportunities for business expansion.
