About BigOceanData
BigOceanData is a UK-based commercial vessel tracking and maritime intelligence platform, built for teams that share responsibility for a fleet rather than for one-off vessel lookups.
The platform combines terrestrial and satellite AIS with independent position sources including Inmarsat-C and Iridium, processing around 80 million position reports a day across more than 450,000 vessels and 4,500 ports. AIS Continuity maintains visibility when a vessel's AIS drops out, whether in poor-coverage regions, during interference, or when a transponder is switched off. Capabilities include real-time and historical vessel tracking, voyage replay, geofencing with configurable alerts, port monitoring, route optimisation powered by ABB Ability Vessel Routing, and an integrated Ship Security Alert System.
Used by more than 200 organisations worldwide including Maersk, Kuehne+Nagel and Crisis24, with 96% of clients renewing. Plans are published rather than quote-only, from $189 per month.
