AIS maritime data & vessel tracking
Spire Maritime 2.0 provides global vessel tracking data and vessel characteristics, combining Terrestrial AIS, Satellite AIS and Dynamic AIS™
Unrivaled ocean coverage, quality and easy to use APIs
What’s new with Spire Maritime 2.0?
The newest update to our Maritime solution brings improved performance and data quality, and new, innovative ways to interact with our smart, clean data.
Duplicate MMSIs and IMOs clean-up
Spire Maritime 2.0 introduces a logic that identifies correct vessel tracks and removes duplicate MMSI or IMO entries. The result is a cleaner, more practical data feed.
20% more global terrestrial AIS data
Starting with Maritime 2.0, our customers will get a 20% increase in Terrestrial AIS data, seamlessly delivered through our API feeds.
GraphQL querying
Spire Maritime 2.0 introduces GraphQL, an open-source data query language to request and subscribe to only the data fields you are interested in, via a sole data endpoint.
Customer testimonial
“Partnering with Spire was a great decision for our team, it’s given us the highest quality AIS data that we could find, which is fundamental to the platform that we’re building.”

The data advantage
Why Spire Maritime data?
Data collected from multiple sources
We combine Satellite AIS, Terrestrial AIS and Dynamic AIS™ to provide wide coverage and give our customers a serious competitive edge.
Unique coverage in high‑traffic zones
Dynamic AIS™ collects data in busy shipping lanes, providing unprecedented coverage, especially in the most congested areas
Convenient delivery methods
We deliver live maritime tracking data through easy-to-use APIs or live feeds (TCP raw NMEA), as well as custom historical data file delivery.
Continuously growing infrastructure
New satellites added to our constellation each year means a constant increase of quantity and quality of data delivered and reduced latency.
Added value with Maritime Weather
Combine AIS-based data with Spire Weather’s forecasts API, putting radio occultation data at the heart of your operational decision-making.
Pre-packaged or customized
Choose between industry‑specific or completely customized data solutions for your region and use
More than AIS data
Features like Enhanced Vessel Data, Predicted ETA or Routing calculation add value to AIS vessel tracking data
Live or historical maritime data
Choose between live API or TCP feed, and custom historical data sets according to your specific application
