VesselHelm feature

AIS fleet tracking inside VesselHelm.

Terrestrial AIS on the free VesselHelm tier, with satellite AIS included in paid tiers for wider fleet visibility.

Overview

AIS fleet tracking

AIS tracking is part of VesselHelm, not a separate standalone product. The free tier supports terrestrial AIS visibility where vessels are covered by shore-based AIS reception. Paid VesselHelm tiers add satellite AIS for vessels operating beyond terrestrial receiver coverage, keeping position visibility beside router, firewall, WAN, service, and support status.
