By offering interactive maps, schedules, and performance data such as speed and draught, this feature is a powerful tool for shipping companies, logistics managers, and businesses looking to monitor vessel activity and optimize supply chain operations.
This article explores the components of the Vessel Activity Tracking feature, highlighting how it enables users to track vessel activity with precision and efficiency.
1. Interactive Vessel Route Map
- A dynamic map showing the vessel’s current route and historical movements.
- Key route points are marked, differentiating between:
- Finished routes.
- In-progress routes.
- Late arrivals.
Importance
- Provides a clear visualization of the vessel’s journey across ports and seas.
- Enables users to track the vessel in real time and anticipate delays or deviations.
2. Vessel Schedule Details
- A detailed schedule of the vessel’s planned and completed port calls, including:
- Port Name: The name of the destination or origin port.
- Locode: The location code of the port.
- Start Date and End Date: The arrival and departure times for each port call.
- Services: The shipping service or route associated with the port call.
Importance
- Offers an overview of the vessel’s timeline and route commitments.
- Helps businesses align their operations with the vessel’s schedule for efficient cargo handling.
3. Vessel Performance Metrics
- Recent Speed: A graph showing the vessel’s speed over a selected time period, measured in km/h.
- Recent Draught: A graph displaying the vessel’s draught (in meters), which indicates its load condition.
Importance
- Speed Monitoring: Allows users to evaluate the vessel’s pace and detect any anomalies in its movements.
- Draught Analysis: Provides insights into the vessel’s cargo load and overall operational efficiency.
