SEA ROUTE CALCULATOR

Create sea routes to support your decision-making

There are hundreds of millions of possible sea route alternatives. Calculate distance, time, and bunker consumption from any of the vessels' real-time AIS positions to more than 10,000 ports, or between ports, with draggable waypoints, alternative sea routes per main sea route, canal constraints, ice and consecutive sea route planning.

Calculate and compare sea routes

Compare hundreds of millions of possible sea route alternatives, calculate distance, ETA, sailing days, fuel consumption, and EU ETS costs, and find bunker ports along the route.

Create unlimited sea routes

Create sea routes from a vessel’s live AIS position or from port to port, and calculate the distance, ETA, days at sea, fuel consumption, and minimize the EU ETS costs.​

Compare alternative sea routes

Compare different sea route options, such as sailing around the Cape of Good Hope or via canals. Find the best option for you by toggling off/on avoid canals, avoid ice, or minimize sailing time in ECA zones.​

AIS routing for different size of vessels​

Compare the calculated sea routes with the actual sailed sea routes for specific vessel sizes.

Find bunker ports along the sea routes

Find bunker ports along your route, with daily updated prices, available bunker grades, and forward curves.

Route a lists of vessels to specific ports

Make sea routes for all the vessels in a list to find if and when they can arrive in a specific port within specific dates. Route fro their current AIS position or select via port before you ask them to proceed to the chosen port.

Make or select lists of vessels based on the criteria that matters to you

  • Live vessel lists / position lists
  • Manually created vessel lists
  • Insight-based vessel lists
  • Contact book vessel lists

ETA calculator

For any vessel list, you can see where the vessels are in real time. Pick some vessels from your list and a destination port, and ShipIntel will create sea routes for each vessel you have selected.​
ShipIntel uses each vessel's average AIS service speed by default, but you can adjust this manually.​
You decide whether to create the route directly from the vessel's AIS position or from a port, and whether to route via canals or intermediate ports or go straight to the destination port.​

Evaluate where your vessel might end up and the ETA​

Some vessel types operate on an almost fixed schedule, like car carriers and container vessels. Others may not know their final destination until they have been at sea for several days as is often the case with tanker vessels.

Route from any vessel's real-time AIS position

From one view you can create several sea routes from a current AIS position to several ports. So if you have fixed UK/CONT/ MED incl. France you can find when your vessel will be open in ports included in these areas​.

Find bunker ports along the sea routes​

In case you might need bunkers to reach some of these destinations, you can toggle on the bunker ports along the sea routes for all these optional ports, and find daily updated bunkers and grades offered in the ports.​

Route from any lat long position in the map​

Useful if you want to find the distance from a vessels AIS position to the nearest land, between two vessels, or for STS, emergency and rescue operations. Just click in the map and create the distance calculator​.

Having used several competing AIS providers, we were confident in our decision to add ShipIntel Essentials to our toolbox. We are impressed with its sleek, responsive, and easy-to-use interface and we're excited to leverage its full potential in our day-to-day operations. Maritime Optima has been very attentive, listening to our needs and implementing functions we have requested.

We started using ShipIntel because we needed an AIS software and a sea route calculator. We added more features because we gained access to high-quality AIS data, smart AI searches, and a very user-friendly software at an affordable price. There are too many stand alone softwares, and we have started looking for a kind of all in one software that gives us what we need at an affordable price.

We chose ShipIntel because it is an innovative solution, easy to use, and comes with a very competitive price. We continued using ShipIntel because the Maritime Optima team continuously develop and maintain the software. We also think it is an advantage that maritime software is developed by people that have been working in the industry. So the easy to use, relevancy, high AIS quality and price makes ShipIntel a unique maritime software box.
