Seasearcher gives you instant access to vessel characteristics, ship movements, AIS positioning, company details, port information and casualty history - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our industry leading land based AIS tracking system reports over 41,000,000 daily vessel movements; these are also corroborated by visual reports from 700 Lloyd's Agents and Sub-Agents and additional contacts around the globe.
As a result of our agreement with ORBCOMM Inc., ship tracking is now enhanced with Satellite AIS reports. Satellite AIS positions are recorded from 1Nm to more than 1,500Nm from shore. This offers a distinct advantage in tracking vessels in deep water (over 100Nm from shore). It also means we provide greater reporting where land based AIS coverage is reduced.
The combination of satellite driven AIS reports, land based AIS and exclusive agreement with the Lloyd's Agency Network, gives you a unique and powerful vessel tracking tool.

You'll have access current and historic sightings, allowing you see the time and dates of when a vessel passed one of our AIS receivers.
