European Bulk and Tanker Operator Extends Use of BigOceanData Vessel Tracking

A long-standing European-based bulk and tanker operator has extended its use of BigOceanData’s advanced vessel tracking services for an eighth year.

BigOceanData delivers a premium fused-data solution by combining terrestrial and satellite AIS tracking with Inmarsat-C position reporting. This robust approach ensures reliable, global tracking coverage for a demanding and dynamic industry.

The browser-based BigOceanData platform enables its fleet managers to monitor vessel locations in real time and store voyage data for later analysis. Automated alerts are triggered when vessels deviate from pre-approved routes, giving managers round-the-clock confidence that their operations remain fully compliant with company policies.

In addition to location tracking, the platform offers advanced situational awareness tools. End users can monitor real-time and forecasted conditions such as weather, sea state, and proximity to defined zones — supporting better-informed operational decisions.

With its breadth of functionality and focus on user needs, BigOceanData continues to deliver more actionable insights than alternative providers, helping maritime operators maintain efficiency, compliance, and safety across global fleets.

“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.”

“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.”
