Welcome to Carga

The Future of Maritime Intelligence

For nearly two decades, ShipTracks revolutionized AIS vessel tracking, integrating predictive analytics, data science, decarbonization, and innovative integrations to enable maritime professionals to make smarter, more informed decisions.

In 2024, ShipTracks acquired Oceaneering’s Maritime Intelligence Division, including OceanSMART, TerminalSmart, and PortVision, to create a unified digital cargo management platform. This transformation brings unparalleled operational and business intelligence, streamlining the entire cargo movement lifecycle from nomination to discharge.

Now, as Carga, we’re entering a new chapter—one that builds on our legacy while redefining the future of cargo management.

Accelerating Maritime Operations

With the largest satellite collection and data archive in the industry, Carga integrates real-time vessel tracking, terminal management, and digital vetting into a single, API-centric ecosystem. We connect every stakeholder in the supply chain, providing clarity, efficiency, and cost savings.

Unlike competitors who develop software in isolation, Carga was born in the maritime industry—built by experts who understand the complexities of cargo movement, regulatory compliance, and operational challenges. We don’t just provide data; we deliver actionable intelligence that helps you optimize every step of your workflow.
