What is Port Events?



Port Events allows its users to query vessels’ activity when entering ports, anchorages, terminals and canals at any given time, anywhere on the planet. By utilizing a database of polygons that mark these areas, coupled with AIS positions, it generates port events that record vessels’ arrival, stay, and departure times, providing a comprehensive history of vessel movements. Port Events can help track trade flows, and terminals to derive info on vessel cargos, vessel activities around ports, etc.

 

Spire captures 35K port arrivals / day across:

  • Over 12K polygons
  • Over 3,8K Ports
  • Over 2,3K Anchorages
  • Over 5,6K Terminals

What makes Port Events different from other solutions on the market?

Low latency

Detect vessels as soon as they have an activity in any polygon.

Data granularity

Spire Maritime’s polygon database allows the most granular view of events compared to competitors

Reliable event detection

Port event triggering uses a combination of different vessel behavior parameters to detect events

Query large databases

Query industry-specific data from an expansive set of ports, anchorages and terminal polygons. This allows for global view of port events, enabling real time monitoring.

Save time and money

As there is no need to process raw AIS data. Receive pre-processed events in convenient JSON format.
