Liner Current Ship Status

The Current Ship Status API provides real-time tracking and monitoring of containers and passenger vessels, offering detailed insights into their latest positions, statuses, and operational activities. It enables users to track the most recent vessel positions, ETA and destination, and monitor live maritime movements for enhanced situational awareness.

Key Features

🚢 Vessel Details – Retrieve essential vessel specifications, including IMO, name, dwt, nominal draft, type, and flag.

📍 Live Positioning Data – Access latest cleaned AIS signals with latitude, longitude, speed, heading, draft, and navigation status.

📌 Service Identification – Each status includes vessel_service_name and vessel_service_id, representing the service the vessel is part of. This enables deeper segmentation of vessel activity based on service context.

🗺 Geospatial Insights – Identify vessel presence in specific zones such as ports, canals, berths, anchorages, and shipyards using AXSMarine proprietary polygon-based tracking.

⏳ Destination & ETA – Monitor reported destination and estimated time of arrival.

⚠️ Blackout Events – Detect AIS signal loss or transmission gaps to assess operational reliability and identify potential dark activities, such as intentional tracking disablement.

📊 Pagination & Query Control – Handle large datasets efficiently with cursor-based pagination for structured data retrieval. Results are limited to 10,000 vessels per page. For handling large datasets, refer to the pagination section.

🚀 This API supports data-driven decision-making for logistics, shipping operations, and supply chain management by providing high-fidelity maritime data.

This API has been designed for simplified use and easy integration. It provides a flat response format that can be easily used as a single-dimensional table.

This API provides the latest known status for the dry bulk fleet currently tracked by AXSMarine. All vessels available within the 360 Web Interface are available through this API from their first AIS ping at delivery to their last AIS ping before demolition. Users can query the complete fleet every hour, ensuring up-to-date vessel information.
