Maritime data API

Accessing Maritime Data

From tracking the dry docking dates of vessels across the globe to providing detailed insights into ship casualties and maritime company profiles, our service is an essential tool for shipowners, logistics professionals, and maritime enthusiasts.

A significant advantage of our new system is the ability to access maritime data through a single API request.

This flexibility allows you to extract data weekly or as needed, directly from our database.
With your API key, you have full control over the data retrieval process. Whether it’s checking specific maritime company details, vessel beneficial owners details, or more you can download a CSV file where all the updated records will be saved.

API Integration

Seamlessly integrate our services into your existing systems with our user-friendly API. Weekly updated data ensure you have the latest information at your fingertips, facilitating informed decision-making.

Report Generation

Along with accessing the data through a single API call, you can also download your own CSV file with the whole updated records available iand saved in our database.

To submit a report request, simply use the POST method with a JSON payload. Detailed instructions on how to generate a report are available under each endpoint.

You can also check our step-by-step on how to generate a report.
