Ultra-fast, enterprise-grade scraper for MarineTraffic and global maritime intelligence. Track commercial container ships, crude oil tankers, bulk carriers, and tugs by IMO number, MMSI, or vessel name.

⚓ Why This High-Ticket Niche Matters
Global maritime logistics moves over 80% of world trade. Commodity traders (crude oil, LNG, iron ore, grains), hedge funds, charterers, and port authorities pay $2,500 to $20,000+/year for live AIS vessel feeds to predict commodity arrivals, monitor chokepoints (Suez, Panama, Malacca), and manage maritime risk.
