There are various ways to access the vessel's information card in ShipIntel. The vessel information card is created for you to learn more about each specific vessel.

Is Vessel Anchored or Sailing?

After you have turned on the vessel segments you prefer, you can view the vessels on your map. In addition to their color, you can distinguish between anchored and sailing vessels by observing the shape of their icon on the map.

A Rounded Shape: This indicates that the vessel is in anchorage or a port.

An Arrow Shape: This indicates that the vessel is sailing.

When clicking on a vessel on the map or searching for a specific vessel, you may notice a blue line that appears by the vessel. The thickest line with light and dark blue colors indicates where the vessel came from and the dotted line indicates where the vessel is going. This is one of our limited paid features using the Enhanced AIS data.
