We got two new AIS stations at Singapore and Québec. Singapore went online on the 25th of May, while our station in Québec is transmitting its data since yesterday. The station in Singapore captured more than 345 ship signals on its first day.

Croatian bulk carrier SPLIT arrived in the Belgian port of Ghent a few days ago. What is its cargo, where did it come from?
FleetMon knows: It carried agricultural commodities. Our new Agricultural Commodities Trading Database holds records on bulk shipments of over 90 different commodities between over 100 countries. Both past and current shipments are listed, and it is easy as usual on FleetMon.com to drill down the results and look for a specific ship, a certain commodity group, or shipments to a certain port or market.
So, what do we know about SPLIT’s cargo? Pull up the database, and here we are: It carried 27’500 tons of rapeseed from the Ukrainian port of Odessa to the Western European market. Awaited on 2012-10-25, it arrived well on time.
Did SPLIT engage in other transports of agricultural commodities over the last months? Which ports does it call to regularly? And what other goods are going to be shipped from Odessa to Belgium? What quantities of sunflower seeds are currently under way? All these question can be readily answered with the database.
The close integration with the FleetMon Vessel Database and AIS tracking opens undreamt-of possibilities in the analysis of commodity trades. Up-to-date position information allows to make informed decisions and react early on delays, ETA changes and incidents.
We are proud to offer our users this fantastic new perspective on the world’s commodity flows today. To access the database, just subscribe to our Agricultural Commodities service via the order page (not included in FleetMon.com Pro or Unlimited plans) or request a free trial.

The vessel movements were captured using newest space-borne and terrestrial AIS technology from FleetMon and its partner Luxspace. The records cover the world’s merchant fleet with some 100’000s of cargo ships, tankers, ferries, plus cruise ships, yachts and tugs.
Satellite AIS enables tracking any AIS equipped vessel even when sailing the open seas. Combining high-resolution terrestrial and global space-based tracking in a unique seamless fashion, FleetMon brings you the best in today’s AIS tracking!
Satellite AIS is now available in FleetMon Satellite Tracking, our full-fledged fleet monitoring service, in FleetMon’s Customer APIs, reports and analyses of maritime traffic data.

In a new case of piracy in the Golf of Guinea, Greek tanker ORFEAS disappeared from the screens and remained unreachable for three long days. It must have been dreadful hours for the crew, their families and the ship managment. Pirates had hijacked the vessel transporting 35,000 tons of gasoline to Abidjan in the Ivory Coast.
Obviously, navigation equipment had been cut down on the vessel, so it could no longer be detected by AIS, neither terrestrial nor satellite, or contacted via Inmarsat. While “invisible”, the vessel crossed the Gulf of Guinea sailing some 650 nautical miles until it popped up again on Oct 9th, when the pirates finally released the ship with crew in good health, having stolen part of the cargo (see our news coverage).
Good to now: FleetMon Satellite Tracking provides ship managers with a fleet monitoring solution that is able to track vessels even in situations when they are not under control. More information here.
