Features / Watchlists and alerts
Be told the moment it matters.
The scan answers who is near me now. A watchlist answers tell me the moment they are. Save an operator, a port, a region, a vessel type, or your own set of vessels, and Vessel Hunter watches it around the clock, sending the alert by email, web push, or Slack the instant something moves.

How it works
Save anything worth watching
Save an operator and every vessel it runs, a port with a radius around it, a region you set as a circle, a vessel type, a set of vessels you pick by IMO, any combination of Fleet filters, or a port hunt: every ship heading to the ports or countries you choose. The thing you track can be a customer roster, a competitor, or a single terminal.
Twenty triggers, tuned per hunt
Movement (zone enter and leave, inbound ETA, heading to port and no longer, sailed, AIS gap, loaded or discharged), changes to the ship (owner or manager, flag, class, name, new registration, certificate expiry), risk (casualty, for sale, newly sanctioned, new PSC findings), and rules (a new IMO rule that applies, entering an emission control area). Switch on the ones you want per hunt, set your own ETA and AIS gap thresholds, and give each trigger a cooldown so one restless ship cannot flood you.
On your terms
Alerts reach you by email, web push, or Slack, and each hunt can mail its own address. Take the mail immediately per event or as a daily or weekly digest, set quiet hours, and pause a watchlist when the season is over, so you hear about the ship without the noise.
