1.3 Vessels Nearby

Description

The Vessels Nearby retrieves vessel data within a 10 nautical mile radius circular area centered on the position of a target vessel by querying the vessel’s MMSI. The returned vessel dataset is sorted by distance in ascending order (from nearest to farthest).

The response includes IMO number, call sign, vessel name , vessel type, length and breadth. It also contains the latest real time AIS updates: vessel position, navigation status, destination port, speed over ground, estimated time of arrival at the destination port, vessel heading, course over ground and other standard AIS parameters.

Use Cases

Offshore Construction Safety Monitoring
Centered on construction vessels, the service returns a list of vessels within a 10 nautical mile radius to monitor their positions and trajectories. If any vessel approaches the construction zone, the construction team can issue timely warnings or adjust construction plans accordingly.

Maritime Collision Avoidance Early Warning
Centered on underway vessels, the service monitors the positions and courses of nearby vessels to assess collision risks. If potential collision risks are detected, the vessel operator can implement immediate collision avoidance maneuvers.

Maritime Emergency Search and Rescue
Centered on distressed vessels, the service locates and coordinates nearby vessels to conduct search and rescue (SAR) operations.
