PORT INTELLIGENCE FOR YACHT CAPTAINS

Know what is known before you call the harbour

MaritimIQ turns scattered harbour research into a vessel-specific pre-arrival picture. Captains can qualify a destination, expose unresolved constraints and prepare a source-backed brief before confirming details with the harbour, agent and official publications.

Explore the portal See API access

Screen candidate harbours against the yacht's LOA, beam, draft and air draft.

See conflicts, stale evidence and missing facts before they become late operational surprises.

Give the bridge, management and shore team one explainable arrival brief.

WHY THIS ROLE NEEDS IT

Replace fragmented research with a governed record.

Prepare arrivals, manage the yacht and translate technical port facts into decisions for crew, guests and owners.

Fragmented pre-arrival research

Approach notes, port limits, formalities, services, tariffs and contacts often live in different publications with different dates and authority levels.

A harbour is not suitable in the abstract

Suitability changes with vessel dimensions, date, commercial status and the specific infrastructure supported by evidence.

Live context can be misread

Weather and traffic observations help planning, but they are not clearance, an official chart or proof that a berth is available.

ROLE-SPECIFIC FEATURES

The product capabilities that matter to yacht captains.

Vessel feasibility with reasons

Test the yacht against published envelopes and see COMPATIBLE, RESTRICTED, INCOMPATIBLE or INSUFFICIENT_DATA with the facts behind the result.

Approach and hydrography context

Review datum-aware depths, approach channels, entrance constraints, bridge or lock geometry and evidence quality without turning contextual data into navigation advice.

Formalities and pilotage

Keep port entry, pilotage, towage, customs, immigration and health requirements separate, including applicability and advance-notice uncertainty.

Warnings and source freshness

Inspect active notices, coverage state, dates and source lineage. No matching warning is never presented as an all-clear.

Captain Arrival Brief

Bring fit, costs, services, restrictions and unresolved questions into one concise decision-support brief that avoids clearance language.

USE CASES

Where the database earns its place.

Pre-arrival qualification

Enter the yacht's dimensions and arrival date, review constraints and send the remaining confirmation questions to the harbour or local agent.

Fallback-port planning

Compare nearby harbours on the same vessel assumptions and identify which alternative has fewer unresolved operational dependencies.

Watch handover

Give relief officers a stable harbour identity, evidence trail and current list of unknowns instead of an untraceable collection of bookmarks.

COMMERCIAL API ACCESS

Use the same intelligence in your own systems.

Connect the same truth model to bridge, fleet or voyage-planning software. API responses preserve reason graphs, confidence and UNKNOWN states so downstream tools do not silently turn missing data into approval.

Useful endpoints for Yacht captains

POST/v1/compatibility

Evaluate a yacht against one harbour's supported physical facts.

GET/v1/harbors/:id/arrival-brief

Retrieve the composed, source-bounded arrival brief.

GET/v1/harbors/:id/warnings

Display warning coverage and current governed notices.

POST/v1/mission

Combine evidence-bounded constraints with a proposed arrival time and vessel profile.

Bearer keys, plan-aware limits and explicit scopes apply. API output is decision support—not a navigational chart, safety approval or live berth reservation.

A PRACTICAL WORKFLOW

Evidence in. Clear next step out.

Identify

Resolve the harbour to its canonical identity rather than relying on a name or free-text location.

Evaluate

Apply the yacht, date and operating context to the available evidence.

Confirm

Take the remaining questions to official publications, the harbour and the appointed agent.

TRUST MODEL

Honest about the limits of maritime data.

Provenance visible

Decision-critical facts keep their source, observed date, confidence and conflict state.

UNKNOWN stays UNKNOWN

Missing evidence is never quietly translated into no, zero, available or safe.

Licensing-aware

Accessible source material and permitted redistribution remain separate decisions.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked.

Does MaritimIQ replace charts or pilot books?

No. It is decision support for research and coordination. Official charts, notices, harbour directions and master/pilot judgement remain controlling.

Does a compatible result mean a berth is available?

No. Physical compatibility, declared capacity, reservation and live availability are separate facts. MaritimIQ never derives availability from AIS traffic.

What happens when sources disagree?

The conflict stays visible with its evidence and date. The platform does not silently choose the more convenient number.
