From AIS signal to dock intelligence
Every ship broadcasts its position. Docktraffic turns that raw stream into a clear, factual answer: who called at your dock, what they did, and what they moved.
Six stages, fully automatic
Once a point of interest is set up, everything below runs automatically without manual work.
How the intelligence holds up
Docktraffic is built on AIS, the same signals ships broadcast for safety, sourced from premium maritime data providers with daily updates and deep historical coverage. No hardware or installation is needed on your side.
Data is refreshed daily. A dock’s activity typically appears in your dashboard within about a day, together with the full history before it. Docktraffic is built for decisions that rely on facts and trends, not on second-by-second vessel chasing.
We look at how the vessel behaves during its stay: its navigational status (moored, at anchor) and the change in its draught. A vessel that sits deeper as it leaves has taken on cargo; lighter means it discharged. We combine these signals into a single operation call with a confidence level.
Tonnage is estimated from the vessel’s deadweight and dimensions, so every estimate carries a transparent confidence rating rather than a false-precision number. It is designed to tell you the scale and direction of a movement reliably, not to replace a weighbridge.
Yes. You can scan any public dock for public AIS signals. Geofence the berths you care about and Docktraffic records the activity there, subject to your subscription.
