Find any major maritime port around the world

Maritime port data such as port name, location, and coordinates, are important information in the maritime and supply chain industry. Since ports are a vital part of our global economy by allowing trade and serving as a hub for the global supply chain industry. Port information is also essential to analyze routes for vessels (cargo and passenger ships).

 We will cover in this article how to find all the port data even when you don’t know the name or the location of the port.

How can I find any seaport data?

Using our maritime port API, you can from now on find data about any seaport around the world.

We made it easy for our users to find all the port data through our API services. With our background in the maritime industry, we know what a business or a developer may need and we work on delivering that.

If you check the Port finder endpoint, you’ll find that you can filter your search and make it more specific instead of a generic one that can consume your time and energy without getting any accurate results.

Check with us the different  search filters that you can use to get port data:

1. Name: you can search by port name and find all the data related to that specific port such as location, country, and coordinates.
2. Type: if you want to narrow your search more, you can search by port type, just need to choose between these common types: Port, Anchorage, Marina, Offshore Terminal, Shelter, Demolition Yard, Canal, and Fishing Harbour.
3. Country: you can retrieve all the different ports in one country in a single API request. The maritime API will allow you to get a list of all the maritime ports in that country with related data.

In order to search by country, you need to find the country_iso ( 2 letters code) in google (for example Sweden= SE) and put it later in the API request.

4. Port UN/LOCODE: the port UN/LOCODE (UN/LOCODE is assigned codes to locations used in trade and transport), the seaport code consists of five characters. Each port around the world has its own UN/LOCODE that you can use.
5. Coordinates (lat/lon and radius) : you can find a port in a circle area of defined longitude and latitude as a center and radius around that defined center in NM. It will be a good option if you don’t have access to all the previous filters we mentioned. 

Our maritime API will return data for all and any port located in that area.
