Route & Position Tracking

MarineInspection tracks vessel positions with GPS coordinates, course over ground, speed over ground, and distance calculations throughout each voyage. The system records waypoint passages, course alterations, speed changes, and route deviations with timestamps and officer acknowledgments. Automated ETA calculations update based on current speed and remaining distance, with alerts for significant delays or early arrivals enabling proactive port coordination and charter party compliance.
