App overview and purpose
Get AIS Right is a no-cost mobile application that brings vessel tracking to your pocket. Where tracking once required dedicated Automatic Identification System hardware, this app needs only an internet connection to show vessel positions and details. Its core function is to find ships and assemble the data you need to monitor maritime activity, but it also bundles several complementary tools for navigation and reporting.
Live vessel monitoring and port reach
The app delivers live position updates and aggregates data to help you form comprehensive reports on shipping operations. It covers a wide range of harbors and terminals, including:
- Antwerp
- Boston
- Rotterdam
- Singapore
These coverage points let you follow ship movements across major global gateways.
Nautical charts and mapping resources
For charting and situational awareness, the app provides access to NOAA’s chart library. You can consult more than 1,000 shoreline and coastal charts directly inside the application, which makes it easier to plan routes, set up positioning references, or study areas several nautical miles offshore.
Vessel profiles and imagery
Detailed ship records are available for fleet oversight. Each vessel entry can include:
- Tonnage and carrying capacity
- Managing company and operator details
- Year of construction
- Draft and depth-related measurements
Photographs and map overlays accompany the technical data, giving you a clearer visual sense of the vessel and its surroundings.
Weather monitoring and safety tools
Weather for individual ports is shown alongside vessel data so you can gauge conditions before travel or operations. The app also features a global typhoon/major-storm monitor to keep you informed during severe-weather events. These tools support safer decision-making in changing climates.
Timing calculators and communication
To help with scheduling and logistics, the app includes an ETA (Expected Time of Arrival) calculator that lets you estimate arrival times using current positions and speeds. When you’ve gathered reports or snapshots, use the built-in sharing function to distribute them to:
- Business partners
- Friends
- Family
Exporting and sharing make it simple to keep stakeholders informed.
Final notes
Get AIS Right combines live tracking, charting, vessel data, weather alerts, and sharing features into a single free mobile solution. Whether you need quick situational awareness or a richer basis for fleet management and reporting, the app provides a compact toolkit to support maritime monitoring from your phone.
