What counts as an active vessel?

We believe in broad discovery combined with precise monitoring.
Discover broadly
Users can search and view vessel activity across the platform without every vessel lookup creating a billable event.
Monitor actively
Active vessel slots are for vessels your team saves, monitors and manages with alerts, zones, reports and workflows.
Expand predictably
Add vessel packs as your monitored fleet grows, keeping entry pricing clear while allowing value to scale.

Trusted by teams who rely on maritime visibility every day

“Maersk needed the ability to track containers. After signing a two-year contract with BigOceanData in September 2016 for vessel tracking services, Maersk extended and expanded the agreement in early 2018 for a further 30 months, covering three times the original number of vessels and nearly double the number of tracked containers. Maersk continues to use the BigOceanData SSAS service, a cost-effective, well-supported solution.”

Stephan Martinussen

Head of GVPC at Maersk

“Our contract renewal with BigOceanData is a testament to the continued excellence of service and support the team provides. BigOceanData has been and will continue to be one of our key service providers at VertomCory, helping us to enhance the service package we provide to our key clients.”

Neil Flower

Agency Director

“Crisis24 is a global risk management and security services company. We commissioned BigOceanData to provide us with a custom-designed vessel tracking and risk management platform for a range of applications with our insurance, marine and offshore oil & gas clients. BigOceanData was responsive to our requirements from the outset; pioneering new ideas to create exactly what we wanted.“

Crisis24

“BigOceanData played a key role in de-risking the return of our vessel, SARBAS, from the Persian Gulf at the onset of hostilities. Their team provided excellent support over a weekend, rapidly setting up frequent Inmarsat-C position updates, seamlessly integrated with AIS data, to support a safer transit. The solution was highly cost-effective and delivered with efficiency and professionalism throughout. The team are a pleasure to work with.”

Mark Robinson

Marine Director

Common questions

Everything you need to know about BigOceanData pricing and implementation.

Do all plans include satellite coverage?

Yes. Every plan runs on the same combined satellite and terrestrial AIS feed. There is no terrestrial-only tier and no premium data add-on: plans differ by team size, vessel capacity and workflow features, never by data quality.

Is this priced per vessel or per user?

Neither. Each plan is a shared team workspace with a set number of users and actively monitored vessels included. Your whole team works from one fleet list, one set of zones and alerts, and one operational picture, with no per-seat charges.

What counts as an active vessel?

An active vessel is one your team actively monitors, with alerts, zones, workflows and reporting attached. Searching and viewing is unlimited on every plan: you can look up any of the 450,000+ vessels we track at any time. The plan limit only applies to the vessels you manage.

Which plan should I choose?

Match the plan to your team and your monitored fleet. Essential suits up to 3 users and 25 active vessels, Professional up to 10 users and 100 vessels, and Business up to 25 users and 300 vessels. If you sit between plans or aren’t sure, book a pricing review and we’ll recommend the right fit.

Can I add more vessels to my plan?

Yes, at any time. Vessel packs add capacity without changing plan: +10 vessels on Essential, +25 on Professional and +50 on Business, each for a fixed monthly amount. If you find yourself adding packs regularly, moving up a plan is usually better value, and we’ll tell you when that’s the case.

How much vessel history is included?

Every plan includes a full year of vessel history and track replay as standard, rising to three years from Professional. History is included in the plan price, not sold as an add-on.
