Port Calls API
Information on port visits — ports visited by a given vessel or vessels that visited a given port
Port Calls per Port

Port Calls per Vessel
Retrieve a complete history of port visits for one vessel or a fleet, identified by IMO or MMSI. Each record includes ATA, ATD, port’s name, country, and LOCODE. You can query multiple vessels with no restrictions on request volume or interval. Response JSON or XML.
