Vessel Tracking Overview

Vessel tracking is the real-time monitoring of a ship's position, course, and speed using AIS (Automatic Identification System) data. Ship agents, port operators, and charterers use vessel tracking to monitor inbound arrivals and verify a vessel's last port of call before it docks.

MagicPort's global vessel directory covers 90,000+ vessels across various types. Each record includes the vessel's IMO number, flag state, registered owner, commercial manager, deadweight tonnage, gross tonnage, and real-time AIS position data.

How to Track a Vessel by IMO Number

  1. Get the vessel's IMO number or name.
  2. Enter the identifier in the search bar.
  3. Open the vessel profile.
  4. Run a sanctions check if required.

What is an IMO Number?

An IMO number is a unique, permanent seven-digit identifier assigned to every commercial seagoing vessel of 100 gross tonnage and above. This number is the most reliable way to identify a vessel for tracking and due diligence purposes.

Difference Between Registered Owner and Commercial Manager

A registered owner holds the title to a vessel, while a commercial manager is responsible for its day-to-day trading operations. Both must be independently checked for sanctions screening.
