Can I track a ship using its name?

Yes! Use the `search_maritime_vessels` tool with the vessel's name. It will return a list of matching ships with their MMSI numbers, which you can then use for real-time tracking.

What is an MMSI number?

MMSI stands for Maritime Mobile Service Identity. It is a unique 9-digit number used to identify a vessel's radio equipment and is the primary identifier for AIS tracking.

How can I find the official code for a port?

Use the `search_ports_by_country` tool with the 2-letter ISO country code. The response will list ports in that country along with their official UN/LOCODEs.

About Datalastic Maritime MCP Server

Equip your AI agent with real-time global maritime intelligence through the Datalastic MCP server. This integration provides instant access to detailed information on thousands of vessels and ports worldwide. Your agent can search for ships by name, retrieve exhaustive metadata (including MMSI, status, and flag), and track real-time positions and ETAs for specific vessels. It also allows searching for maritime ports by country to find official UN/LOCODEs. Whether you are managing global logistics, auditing supply chains, or researching maritime traffic, your agent acts as a dedicated port captain and logistics analyst through natural conversation.

The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 8 tools from Datalastic Maritime through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Datalastic Maritime, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.

What you can do

Vessel Search & Specs — Find commercial ships by name and retrieve robust technical dimensions and tonnages.
Navigation Intelligence — Retrieve real-time positions, ETAs, and historical AIS tracking paths for specific vessels.
Geofence Discovery — Find all active vessels and cargo tankers located within a specific circular radius instantly.
Port Insights — Discover maritime ports by country or name and retrieve exact geolocations and UN/LOCODEs.

The Datalastic Maritime MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
