Posted: May 7, 2019 |
Many people want to know if the transport of a product has reached its destination, or for a possible entertainment and curiosity is to know the date when you will disembark in a port, or if you left it to perform your storage calculations, because with the applications that I will show later you will be able to obtain those data and much more. All this and more, we can know through "MarineTraffic", which is a computer application and mobile phone, even creating a free account you could enter from the web with the same name (Marine Traffic), where I explain what information we can extract from the applications and the aforementioned website, and the most interesting that can serve us for many utilities, navigating the seas and oceans of the world, its use is at your convenience, I will be responsible for detailing some very interesting utilities of it. "Marine Traffic" is currently connected to a very large network of receivers of the AIS (Automatic Identification System) type, of which the terminal of Google Maps uses a lot, to locate us better and make it more user-friendly, thanks to this system we can know the real situation of the boats, yachts, merchant ships, cruises, etc. (formerly used by pirates to carry out very thoughtful robberies). Most of the boats are connected to this system, with devices that transmit information of the vessel, so that it is useful from the point of view of the safety of the vessels and to keep a control in their databases of the operating shipping companies, from which we can take advantage of said data. This system incorporated to the boats has the following main functions, but at the same time we can take advantage of them for our objectives
In “Marine Traffic“ we can see all the information that includes arrivals and departures of ships, as well as marine ports around the world (more than 5,000 ports can now be identified). Functions that "Marine Traffic" can perform
Entering "Marine Traffic" we created an account to configure data of interest and to notify us of their movements at sea, either by email, messages or by cell phone, of the arrival of a certain vessel at an established point that has been configured in the preferences of the application in advance. The drawback is that we have a limited number of alerts, for which if we want to enter more alerts we must pay a monthly payment according to our needs. Incredibly speaking very little on the web of this, I do not know why, but it is certainly a very important tool to take into account if someday we need it. Meanwhile the website of " Marine Traffic " is very intuitive and it is very appreciated all the input information, I have been able to locate the application for the iPhone, and I find it more friendly in its functions than in the same web, since we It contributes a lot of data and without publicity. For the iPhone is at a cost of $ 4.99 that is downloaded directly from the App Store, on the MacBook we can find a similar to the one mentioned with the name " Boat Watch Pro " with a value of $ 6.99, since it does not is on this platform, very rare the truth, although if you look well to download it you will notice that it does exactly the same. Regardless of the characteristics that are shown on the screen, the two have similar functions, if you are very interested in using it, write in the comments box (below this post), to explain the use of each application in future articles.
