Know what's shipping
before the report drops
We track every bulk carrier at the world's grain export ports. Draft changes reveal cargo volumes days before official numbers. Stop guessing. Start seeing.
How it works
AIS is internationally mandated. Every bulk carrier over 300 gross tons broadcasts its position and draft depth. We turn that signal into trade intelligence.
Track
Every bulk carrier, every hour
AIS transponders broadcast vessel positions, draft depth, and destination. We ingest this data across 20+ grain export ports worldwide.
Measure
Draft change = cargo volume
When a ship arrives empty (shallow draft) and departs loaded (deep draft), the change reveals exactly how much grain was loaded. Physics doesn't lie.
Predict
Beat official reports by days
We aggregate loading data across all vessels at a port, producing weekly export volume estimates that anticipate official USDA and CONAB reports.

Real-time vessel positions, loading events, and export volume estimates — all in one view.

Intelligence, not data
Raw AIS feeds are noise. We transform vessel telemetry into actionable commodity flow signals.
Real-Time Port Monitoring
Geofenced tracking at 20+ grain export ports. Know which vessels are at anchor, at berth, or loading — as it happens.
Draft Change Detection
Automated detection of loading events via draft depth changes. When a vessel sits deeper, it's taking on cargo.
Volume Estimation
Calibrated tonnage calculations using vessel DWT and draft-to-capacity ratios. Per-vessel and per-port aggregates.
Weekly Export Predictions
Aggregated weekly estimates across grain, petroleum, and general cargo that anticipate USDA, EIA, and other official reports before publication.
Multi-Commodity Tracking
Monitor bulk carriers for grain, tankers for petroleum, and container vessels for general cargo — all from a single unified platform across 13 live ports.
Anomaly Alerts
Instant detection when loading pace deviates from seasonal patterns. Know about disruptions before the market does.
Global grain ports
Monitoring 8 live ports across Europe and the Americas, expanding to cover every major commodity corridor.
