Ship Insight

Global Vessel Tracking & Maritime Intelligence Platform

SeaVantage Ship Insight fuses satellite, terrestrial, and vessel AIS streams to track any vessel worldwide. We complement official carrier ETAs with AI-generated predictions (PTA, PTB) to provide early visibility into delay risks, securing vital response lead time for your supply chain.

AI Prediction Engine

Beyond ETA.
Spot theETA-PTA Gap Detect delay risk earlier.

Our machine learning engine combines real-time AIS streams, historical routing patterns, port congestion data, and weather modelling to generate three critical predictions for every vessel call.

PTA — Predicted Time of Arrival

When the vessel will first enter port waters or reach anchorage. Updated continuously as the ship moves.

PTB — Predicted Time of Berth

When the vessel will actually dock. Accounts for port congestion, anchorage wait, and berth availability patterns.

Destination Port Prediction

When AIS destination data is missing or unreliable, our model predicts the most likely destination port from trajectory.

Port Call Intelligence

Complete port call history
with every timestamp.

Every vessel's full itinerary — past, present, and predicted. ATA, ATB, ATD, and dwell time for each port call, with the ability to view the vessel's past track directly from any call.

TRANSIT DETECTION

Port calls are automatically classified as Call At (cargo op) or Transit (passing through). Each includes a "View Past Track" link for the exact voyage segment.

Key Terminology

Maritime intelligence
acronyms decoded.

PTA
Predicted Time of Arrival

A data-driven prediction acting as an early risk-detection signal. It complements your official ETA by helping you spot potential delays based on real-time AIS, speed patterns, and port congestion

PTB
Predicted Time of Berth

AI-generated estimate of when the vessel will dock at a berth. Accounts for port congestion, anchorage queue, and historical berth patterns.

ATA
Actual Time of Arrival

The confirmed timestamp when the vessel physically arrived at the port. Used as a historical benchmark to validate prediction accuracy.

ATB
Actual Time of Berth

The confirmed timestamp when the vessel docked at the berth. The difference between ATA and ATB represents waiting / anchorage time.

ATD
Actual Time of Departure

The confirmed timestamp when the vessel undocked and departed the port. Used with ATA to calculate dwell time.

ETA
Estimated Time of Arrival

The official operating baseline provided by the carrier. SeaVantage displays this alongside PTA so you can monitor the gap between the official plan and real-world signals, securing earlier response optionality.

SOG
Speed Over Ground

Vessel speed measured relative to the earth's surface (in knots). Used in past track analysis and route time estimation.

COG
Course Over Ground

The vessel's actual direction of travel measured in degrees (0–360°) relative to geographic north, as detected by AIS.

DWT
Deadweight Tonnage

Maximum carrying capacity of a vessel in metric tons, including cargo, fuel, fresh water, and crew. Key vessel size indicator.

GT
Gross Tonnage

Overall internal volume of a vessel (not weight). Used for regulatory purposes and size classification (e.g. Neo-Panamax > 100,000 GT).

IMO
IMO Number

Unique 7-digit permanent identifier assigned to each merchant vessel by the International Maritime Organization. Never changes over the vessel's life.

MMSI
Maritime Mobile Service Identity

9-digit number used by AIS transponders for vessel identification. Can be reassigned when a vessel changes flag or owner.
