Hello Caio

I have seen that the site does not contain any port in Chile, do you need some help?

Regards

Tomi.

Hello Tomislav,

Good morning!

We are working on this and adding new ports in Chile.

Could you send us this airport list? E-mail me: [email protected]

We are currently focusing on expanding our AIS coverage in Chile. Apply here: ShipXplorer.com/addcoverage

Best regards,

Hi guys,

Caio and James here from the ShipSpotting team! We are proud to announce the launch of ShipXplorer, which is the latest addition to the ShipSpotting family!

ShipXplorer is a vessel tracking website that tracks global vessel movements in real-time. ShipXplorer was developed to cater to the increasing navigational and tracking challenges faced by the maritime industry worldwide.
ShipXplorer is on a mission to create the world's largest AIS-based vessel tracking network. With exploding worldwide demand from feeders to host our AIS receivers, ShipXplorer aims to leverage this demand to build out a robust terrestrial tracking network along the coastline of over 80 countries. In addition to developing a coastal network of AIS ground stations globally, strategic partnerships with leading satellite data providers have also been initiated to achieve 100% AIS coverage.

Why not try it out for yourself? Visit https://shipxplorer.com and begin your shipping journey with us today!


All the best,

Caio Barros
