Sea freight
Sea freight lanes and port intelligence
Maritime freight lanes, U.S. port gateways and public-source limits for ship-position data.
Sea freight intelligence starts with the lane: transpacific, transatlantic, Gulf, Panama and coastal connections all shape how cargo reaches U.S. ports.
Comprehensive global AIS position coverage, particularly satellite AIS and API access, generally requires a commercial AIS service or licensed data feed. This page shows port gateways and lane context now, with source notes so visitors know what is live, what is delayed and what is a reference layer.
The map is built for route research, port comparison and disruption monitoring. It should not be read as complete live vessel tracking unless a licensed AIS service is connected later.
