Read any dock at a glance
Docktraffic combines automated vessel tracking with automatic operation, cargo and material intelligence, so a dock's activity becomes a factual record instead of a phone call.
Vessel tracking on geofenced docks
Define a point of interest around any berth or terminal. Docktraffic automatically ingests AIS positions and records every vessel that enters. No hardware, no manual logs.
- Unlimited geofenced points of interest
- Position, speed, heading & navigational status
- Automatic port-call detection from position history
- Vessel identity: name, type, IMO/MMSI and flag
What moved, not just who called
A vessel that sits deeper in the water as it stays is loading; lighter means unloading. Docktraffic reads that draught signal alongside AIS status, then estimates tonnage from vessel size and infers the likely material from the dock's profile.
- Operation type: loading, unloading or waiting
- Cargo tonnage estimate with a confidence rating
- Likely material inferred per visit

Follow the material, not just the ship
For every dock, Docktraffic ranks where discharged cargo came from and where loaded cargo is heading. It turns a series of visits into the shape of a supply chain: your own, a supplier's, or a competitor's.
- Top origin ports for discharged cargo
- Top destinations for loaded cargo
- Aggregate a whole market across many docks
- Trace a single vessel's journey across ports
