Fleet monitoring — search all vessels matching a carrier name (e.g. "MSC", "Maersk")
Port analytics — find vessels associated with a specific port
Shipping research — collect AIS metadata for bulk vessel datasets

`imoNumbers`	array	List of IMO numbers (mode=byIMO)
`mmsiNumbers`	array	List of MMSI numbers (mode=byMmsi)
`portName`	string	Port name to search nearby vessels (mode=byPort)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AIS data? AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a maritime tracking system that broadcasts vessel position, identity, and voyage data. VesselFinder aggregates this public AIS data.

Is authentication required? No. VesselFinder's public vessel pages are freely accessible.

How fresh is the data? VesselFinder updates vessel positions as AIS signals are received — typically every few minutes for vessels in coverage areas.

What vessel types are covered? All vessel types: container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, ferries, fishing vessels, yachts, and more.

How do I find a vessel's IMO number? Use mode=search with the vessel name to find its IMO/MMSI, then use mode=byIMO for direct lookup.
