Roadtrix Ship operates through direct integration with global AIS (Automatic Identification System) networks, pulling live vessel positioning data from maritime satellites and coastal transponders. The app processes GPS coordinates every 3-6 minutes, calculating precise ETAs using proprietary algorithms that factor in vessel speed, weather conditions, port congestion levels, and historical route patterns.
Container tracking leverages partnerships with major shipping lines and terminal operators, accessing their internal cargo management systems through secure API connections. When you input a container number, the system queries 47 different carrier databases simultaneously, retrieving real-time status updates including customs clearance progress, gate-in/gate-out timestamps, and transshipment details across multi-leg journeys.
The notification engine monitors 500+ ports continuously, triggering alerts when vessels enter geofenced zones around harbors, when containers change status from "discharged" to "available for pickup," or when unexpected delays occur. Port congestion forecasts use machine learning models trained on 8 years of historical dwell time data, predicting queue lengths at terminal gates with 87% accuracy up to 72 hours in advance.
Monitor any ocean-going vessel in real-time using IMO or MMSI numbers. View current position on interactive maps with route history trails, speed indicators, and heading data. Track up to 50 vessels simultaneously with color-coded markers. AIS data refreshes every 3-6 minutes for vessels at sea, every 10 seconds when in port proximity zones.
Input container numbers from any of 47 supported carriers to retrieve full shipment journey details. See gate-in timestamps, vessel loading confirmations, discharge dates, customs clearance status, and availability for pickup. Automatic notifications trigger when containers reach "empty return" status or encounter demurrage risk windows.
Receive dynamic arrival estimates that update based on real-time vessel speed changes, weather routing adjustments, and port traffic conditions. The system accounts for pilotage wait times, berth availability schedules, and tide restrictions at tidal ports. ETA accuracy improves to within 45-minute windows once vessels enter 50-nautical-mile approach zones.
Create custom watchlists for up to 20 ports you monitor regularly. See aggregated data showing vessels due to arrive in next 48 hours, current berth occupancy rates, average container dwell times, and gate congestion forecasts. Export port performance reports as CSV files for logistics planning meetings.
Link Bill of Lading numbers to monitor customs processing stages including ISF filing confirmation, exam holds, USDA inspections for agricultural shipments, and release authorization. Receive push notifications when customs releases containers or flags them for physical examination, reducing demurrage exposure from clearance delays.
Download vessel movement data for offline access during periods without internet connectivity. View historical routes for any vessel over past 90 days, including port call histories, speed profiles during ocean transits, and anchorage durations. Useful for analyzing carrier performance patterns and identifying chronic delay routes.
