NAVTOR Upgrades NavFleet with Live AIS Vessel Monitoring

Maritime technology company NAVTOR has introduced real-time AIS streaming to its NavFleet platform, allowing fleet managers to monitor vessel positions, movements and surrounding traffic with minimal latency.

The new capability, included in NavFleet version 2.7.1, uses NAVTOR's existing digital infrastructure to capture and transmit live vessel AIS data, providing ship operators with more immediate access to information on vessel speed, heading and position.

The system uses NavBox, NAVTOR's secure gateway for exchanging data between vessels and shore-based systems, to capture, package and transmit AIS information through a proprietary, low-bandwidth network.

According to NAVTOR, the technology allows fleet managers to monitor vessels in the context of surrounding traffic and marine infrastructure, reducing reliance on position updates that may be several minutes or hours old.
