Stronger oversight starts with AIS — and builds from there

Fleet oversight requirements grow more complex every year. Geopolitical disruptions, AIS signal loss or disruption, manipulation, security threats, and changing regulations can all raise risks — but your team still has to answer the same questions:

Port with large container ships, blue cranes, and stacked shipping containers along a foggy waterfront.
What’s the situation around our route?
How can we have better domain awareness and automation?

Do we have the data our analysts and underwriters need — in the format they expect?

Track in sensitive regions

Our optional on-board Mercury device maintains encrypted visibility when AIS marine traffic systems are not broadcasting due to signal congestion or a security issue. Only authorized users can view this data.

Anticipate risks before they become a problem

Visual overlays map out high-risk zones, economic zones, and weather risks using live maritime traffic tracking data — helping you respond.

Built for the dynamic needs of commercial operations

MariTrace helps fleet directors, operations, and compliance teams stay ahead of risks — starting with dependable AIS tracking and, when needed, adding Mercury for enhanced coverage.

Log activity. Share what matters. Stay in control.

MariTrace automatically records vessel positions, port calls, and route history. You decide what gets shared and when — using secure Mercury vessel tracking data to meet the needs of insurers, auditors, or partners without exposing more than necessary.

See more with less friction

From single-ship updates to full fleet reports, the MariTrace platform is intuitive to learn and use, keeping data accessible without clutter or delay.

The moments Maritrace was built for.

Your vessel is sailing through the Red Sea, and the Master switched off the AIS for security reasons…

You don’t want to broadcast its position, but you still need eyes on it. With Mercury, you stay operational even when other AIS marine traffic tools are unavailable.

An underwriter calls. They need to know if the vessel breached a geofence…

Instead of scrambling, you pull the route history. The vessel skirted the edge, logged each port call, and you automatically share what the insurer needs — nothing more.

The AIS track has not updated in over 6 hours due to coverage gaps…

Whether it’s a congested shipping lane or a blind spot in satellite coverage, MariTrace still shows the vessel’s live position via Mercury. You can verify its status without waiting for the next AIS ping.

Another vessel is at risk and you need to act…

You scan the risk overlays: Weather is fine, piracy zone is stable, but a new advisory flagged heightened activity this morning. You react without drama or delay.

Still have questions? We’ve got answers.

  • Yes. When paired with our Mercury device, MariTrace goes beyond traditional AIS marine traffic tools by providing private, encrypted vessel location tracking — even during AIS dropouts or intentional dark periods. Only authorized users can access the data.

  • MariTrace logs movement history, port calls, and risk-zone exposure using secure maritime traffic tracking. That means you can quickly reference the data you need to confirm compliance and share verified routes with underwriters, auditors, or partners.

  • Yes. We support fleet-wide system integration, and most teams are operational within days. The platform is designed for simplicity and speed — whether you’re tracking one vessel or hundreds.

  • Absolutely. You choose which users or partners can access specific vessel tracking data. Share only what’s needed, when it’s needed — and keep the rest private.

  • Mercury doesn’t replace your existing AIS marine traffic system — it complements it. When AIS is on, MariTrace displays both public and encrypted data streams. When AIS drops out, Mercury confidently keeps your marine vessel tracking uninterrupted and secure.

  • Reach out to our team. We’re happy to talk through your specific use case.

Still relying on just AIS tracking? It might be time to upgrade.

When you need to track vessels, assess risk, and prove compliance with reliable marine traffic data, MariTrace gives you the oversight and control to lead with confidence.
