Spire Maritime
Satellite AIS and maritime data APIs for vessel positions where coastal receivers cannot see.
Alternative to MarineTraffic
About
Spire sells satellite AIS and related maritime data. Developers and tracking products use the API when terrestrial AIS leaves gaps — mid-ocean, polar routes, or vessels that coastal networks never hear — and they need a feed rather than a consumer map.
MarineTraffic and VesselFinder are the products end users open. Spire is upstream data. It is paid, API-first, and not a chartering or fleet-management application. If you are building tracking, risk, or port-call analytics, this is a data source; if you are a broker checking one ship, you probably want a map product instead.
