If your work involves marine ships of any kind, you should read this post. It is critical to know where your vessels are at any moment so that you can keep good track of them. Vessel Traffic Information API will help anyone know when things will arrive. More importantly, knowing the positions in which a ship is can prevent many errors and accidents. Keep reading and learn all about this incredible API.
Why a traffic and information API?
If you want your job to be well done, you have to be organized. And this does not mean at all that you just have to be tidy. Being informed and resourceful is part of being organized. All these three qualities are extremely important when managing a business, especially one with marine vessels. Thanks to Vessel Traffic Information API, you will have all three qualities and more. This maritime API focuses on getting you all the data you could need as well as any positions your vessels have been, are and will be in.
To get each particular information you need to use a different API endpoint. There are three. Two for information and one for location. The first two will get you information such as a marine vessel’s destination and departure port, its max draught, how long the vessel is, where has it been built, its flag, the ship’s triangular position, when is the vessel estimated to arrive to its arrival port, and as if it was not a lot of information, Vessel Traffic Information API more offers even more information. On the other hand, the third endpoint will retrieve a complete list of all the available marine ships within a 300 nautical miles radius. They all work immediately and return you the most accurate and up-to-date answers. The positions and everything location-related are live so that it never fails.
But what can be positions and data important for?
For anything! This can help people who work with vessels, people who employ them, and people who simply have them as a medium. The first group usually needs only the location part of Vessel Traffic Information API but they never lose the chance to have a very checked database so they tend to end up using both services. In the second group tho, everything is useful. They can not be certain about everything their renter says about the vessel so they need to check it, And the last group has two groups innit. Firstly, there are people who use it to follow their purchases across seas. Secondly, there are those who employ it because they are amateurs and love vessels.
