With billions of dollars’ worth of goods crossing the oceans at any time, knowing when your ship comes in can swing time-sensitive markets. TimeCaster™ ais web app predicts ais ship position every 10 minutes and tracks past positions. Users are provided a near real-time feed of ship positions 10 times more accurate than other datasets and Doppelgangers are automatically identified.
Product Description
TimeCaster™ is a significant step up from standard S-AIS data, using big data analysis for near ais live tracking that is one of the most accurate on the market. TimeCaster™ harnesses the information of Orbcomm’s over 300,000 transponders, and uses Maerospace's big data analytics to process millions of messages per day. TimeCaster™ updates vessels ais position every 10 minutes; the analytical software not only keeps track of a ship’s movements, but it can additionally forecast its future movements for the next 12 hours. And because ships might reuse the same MMSI number, TimeCaster™ can help you identify these Doppelgangers.
Fleet operators, commodity investors, traders, environmental protection agencies, insurance companies, the finance industry, and even regulators – they all need timely and seamless updates about ship location and route forecasting. But even with widely deployed satellite navigation and Automatic Information Systems (AIS), vessels can “go dark” for long periods. And in crowded shipping lanes, simply knowing current positions of neighboring ships is not enough: to reliably avoid collisions, the ships’ routes need to be forecast for several hours, depending on the vessels’ size and speed.
The TimeCaster™ ais web app empowers users with actionable information about the location and suspicious ship behaviors, allowing them the time and foresight to act accordingly.

AIS-data for ship tracking: All ships larger than a certain size are transmitting their position to increase safety and simplify navigation. - Figure 2:
TimeCaster™ for maritime awareness: TimeCaster™ makes the picture more complete. Figure 2 shows an example: TimeCaster™ gives 8295 ship positions every 10 minutes for the selected area and reaches an average accuracy of 13 NM. With raw AIS data only, less than 7130 ships are reported with average position accuracy of 148 NM, and many position messages are older than 3 hours. - Figure 3: See all individual ships in a defined area. There is no limit for the number of ships displayed even in busy areas.

- Figure 6: With Orbcomm's raw data, see the past positions of ships in your fleet (in blue) going back nearly 12 hours. With Maerospace's unique algorithm, future ship positions are predicted (in orange) for up to 12 hours in the future with an accuracy up to 10 times better than others.
