Common questions
Is 11+ years of AIS history included in my SeaPath subscription?
Plus and Pro subscriptions include access to available historical AIS records dating back more than 11 years, with no separate history add-on fee. How much history is available depends on the vessel and the data recorded for it. Free accounts include a rolling 5-day history window.
Does SeaPath work for merchant and cruise ship seafarers as well as yacht crew?
Yes. SeaPath is for seafarers working on yachts, merchant vessels and cruise ships. You can organise your sea-service history by vessel and review the activity recorded for each one.
Does SeaPath decide whether I meet MCA requirements?
No. Pro Tracker helps you organise your progress against supported MCA qualification requirements, but it is not an official MCA tool and does not approve eligibility. The MCA or an approved examiner makes the final decision based on your documents and evidence.
What can I use without a paid subscription?
SeaPath Free includes a vessel logbook, manual sea-time entry, AIS vessel search, live vessel position, a rolling 5-day AIS history window and SeaShare. Plus and Pro add their listed paid features; see Pricing for the current plan comparison.
SeaPath supports personal record-keeping and preparation. It does not replace signed testimonials, official documents or a decision by the MCA or another maritime authority. AIS data may be incomplete for some vessels or dates.
