Frequently asked questions

Vessels carry AIS (Automatic Identification System) devices that broadcast position and identity data, picked up by terrestrial and satellite receivers in NMEA format. Our data-processing partners decode this raw signal, and Datalastic stores it through an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process to keep the database accurate and structured.

No. The Ships and Ports databases are static, point-in-time snapshots. They don't include API access, so they won't update with a vessel's current position or status. If you need live, constantly updated tracking data, you'll need to subscribe to one of the API plans on our pricing page.

Static data, like port names or vessel specifications, rarely changes, and Datalastic checks and refreshes it on a regular basis. That's what this page offers as a downloadable file.

Dynamic data, like a vessel's live speed and location, changes minute to minute. For that, you'll want our API instead of a one-time file.

Yes. Both databases are also available as an ongoing weekly-update CSV subscription, so you always have the latest file without re-purchasing. Contact us to set it up.

Yes, every database has a free sample file you can download first, in the same format and structure as the full version, so you know exactly what you're getting.
