We Built an AIS Station That Streams Directly to the BalticTraffic Live Map

At KlaipėdaTraffic, we have reached an important milestone.

We have successfully developed an AIS station capable of streaming live vessel data directly into the BalticTraffic live map in real time. For the end user, the experience is simple and seamless: vessels appear on the map live, without delays, without complexity, and without the need for any special setup on their side.

This is not just a test bench or a one-off experiment. It is a working, field-proven solution built with expansion in mind.

From One Station to a Growing Network

What began as a single AIS receiver in Klaipėda is now evolving into something much larger: a growing network of AIS stations across the Baltic region.

Each additional node improves the overall system by strengthening:

• Coverage
• Accuracy
• Reliability

Most importantly, all of this data is brought together into one unified live map, creating a cleaner and more useful view of vessel activity across the region.

Built for Real Maritime Conditions

Our AIS station is not a hobby prototype. It is a practical tool designed for real-world maritime use.

The system has been developed with a strong focus on:

• Stable, continuous live data streaming
• Reliable performance in changing network conditions
• Clean and usable vessel output for tracking and awareness
• Operation in real environments, not only in the workshop

The result is a solution that is ready for everyday use and ready for wider deployment.

Ready-to-Stream AIS Nodes

To help BalticTraffic grow faster, we are now introducing a simple but powerful concept: ready-to-stream AIS nodes.

We can provide new partners with a pre-configured AIS station setup designed to:

• Start receiving vessel data immediately
• Stream directly to the BalticTraffic live map
• Require only minimal technical setup
• Work reliably from day one

In simple terms:

Plug it in.
Connect it to the internet.
Your node is live.

What We Can Provide

For new node partners, we can provide:

• A pre-configured AIS station system
• An optimized streaming setup
• Guidance on antenna placement and installation
• Integration into the BalticTraffic network

This removes the usual barriers that often slow projects down. Instead of dealing with trial and error, partners receive a solution that is already prepared to do the job.

Who This Is For

We are open to collaboration with partners in strategic coastal locations, including:

• Port authorities
• Pilot organizations
• Maritime service companies
• Yacht clubs and coastal facilities
• Technically minded local partners

If you are located near the sea, a port, or a busy waterway, your location could become a valuable BalticTraffic node.

Why Join BalticTraffic

By hosting a node, you help strengthen AIS coverage in your own region while becoming part of a growing Baltic-wide network focused on real-time maritime awareness.

Partners may also benefit from:

• Optional visibility and recognition on the live map
• Direct AIS data access for professional use cases
• Integration opportunities for navigation-related workflows
• Better situational awareness tools built on live local data

Expanding Across the Baltic Sea

We are actively looking beyond Klaipėda and toward a wider BalticTraffic network. Priority regions include Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Sweden, and Finland.

Every new node brings the network one step closer to a stronger, more connected Baltic Sea live AIS picture.

Final Thought

We did not just build an AIS station.

We built a ready-to-deploy solution for a distributed maritime network, and now we are ready to share it.

One node at a time.
