Maritime intelligence for everyone moving cargo.
Port closures, chokepoint blockages, geopolitical flare-ups. Any of them can reshape a lane overnight. NauticGrid gives the people who coordinate ocean freight a single place to see what is happening, understand what it means, and walk into their next conversation with the right answer.
Freight intelligence is scattered. It should not be.
Most people who move cargo start the day the same way. A dozen tabs, three news sites, two port authority bulletins, a commodity price tracker. Manually assembling a picture of what is disrupted takes 30 to 45 minutes before they can confidently brief a single client or stakeholder.
Between general trade media that publishes dozens of long articles with no operational framing, and enterprise platforms costing thousands per seat, the mid-market has no focused, affordable daily intelligence layer. NauticGrid fills that gap. One dashboard. One daily brief. Every signal that matters, already rated and ready to act on.
You coordinate shipments, manage carrier relationships, and communicate delays before clients ask. NauticGrid gives you the right information at 7:51 AM so your email lands in the client inbox before they have seen the Bloomberg headline.
You track inbound goods across multiple lanes and report delays to internal stakeholders. NauticGrid surfaces congestion and disruption signals in seconds, so your weekly risk update takes minutes, not an hour of tab-hunting.
You sell software, insurance, finance, or services into the maritime ecosystem. NauticGrid keeps you calibrated on live market conditions, route disruptions, and chokepoint data so your client conversations start from a position of knowledge.
You care about disruptions that affect documentation windows, transit timing, and customs friction. NauticGrid surfaces regulatory changes and operational friction signals alongside port status so you see the whole picture in one place.
The full picture, always current
Disruption feed from verified maritime sources. Chokepoint transit status across Hormuz, Suez, Bab el-Mandeb, and Cape of Good Hope. Market benchmarks. Anonymous visitors preview the first three dashboard stories; a free account unlocks the full home intelligence rail; Harbor Pilot (one-time) unlocks Ports, Lanes, watchlists, and every port story room.
Know before the vessel arrives
Live congestion levels at 38 tracked ports derived from IMF PortWatch satellite AIS data. Each port shows current level, vessel call trend versus 30-day average, and direction of change. Updated daily.
Your morning intelligence digest
Severity-rated disruption stories compiled and reviewed by a human every weekday morning, delivered before the trading day begins. Written to answer the one question everyone asks: is my cargo affected.
Price signals alongside port signals
Baltic Dry Index, WTI and Brent crude, updated hourly via live market feeds. See why rates are moving alongside the disruptions that are driving them.
2 minutes, not 45
We aggregate what used to live across a dozen tabs. Port authority updates, industry news, satellite transit data, commodity prices. We surface only what is actionable, before the market opens.
Signals, not noise
Every disruption story is severity-rated and tagged to the ports and chokepoints it affects. You see what is operationally relevant to your lanes, not a firehose of headlines.
Built for the front line
NauticGrid is designed for the people who need to be right when a client asks why cargo is delayed. Not for analysts building quarterly reports. The format reflects that.
Intelligence, not just data
Raw data does not tell you what to do. NauticGrid layers AI analysis on top of live signals to rate severity, summarise impact, and give you language you can use immediately in client conversations.
