📡 Data Feeds & Map Intelligence

Use the 🗂️ Layers button on the map (bottom-left) for hazard overlays: JWC Zones shows approximate war/piracy risk areas from the official Joint War Committee Listed Areas circular (illustrative, not for insurance/legal use); Earthquakes, Fires & Storms show global natural disaster threats directly from USGS, NASA FIRMS & NOAA NHC; GPS Anomaly Zone highlights 0°N, 0°E (Null Island) data distortions.

Toggle High Emissions Only (Pro) in the 🗂️ Map Layers panel (bottom-left of the map) to view global vessels exceeding 0.60 MT CO₂/NM.

Switch Map Engine (Filters tab) to Bathymetry (EMODnet) for a global sea-depth base map, and enable 🌊 Depth Contours in the Map Layers panel for generalised depth contour lines over European waters. Both are free and show modelled bathymetry — not chart soundings, not for navigation.

AIS carriage is mandatory for ships of 300 GT and above on international voyages, cargo ships of 500 GT and above on domestic voyages, and all passenger ships regardless of size — which is why small craft (fishing boats, yachts, most pleasure craft) are often missing from the map even though they're legitimately out there. A vessel's popup also shows a Rules That Likely Apply estimate (SOLAS, ISPS, ISM, mandatory AIS) based on its broadcast type and length — AIS never reports gross tonnage, so this is an estimate, not a determination.

📊 Fleet Dashboard (Pro)

The dashboard follows its map: pan or zoom and every figure on the right updates to the area shown. Click a vessel on the map to open its details card at the bottom-left; close it with its ×. Open full map (or the Map tab at the top) takes you back to the full map.

🔍 Advanced Search & Areas

Use the Region Jump to fly the map to popular seas. Search vessels by Name, MMSI, or IMO with server-side multi-match plotting.

🛠️ Insights Tools

📥 CSV Export (Pro): From the Insights tab, export what's in view from the Tsop Tech feed (our own AIS stations). The Extended feed comes from a partner network whose terms allow showing it on the map but not downloading it.

📊 Voyage Log (Pro): Historical Replay (Insights tab) covers the last 30 days on any feed; click a Tsop Tech feed vessel to export its full track with fuel burn, cost, and CO₂ totals.
