Every number carries a date and a method.
How Traffik measures, what each label means, and the limits we state on every surface. These rules apply to every figure the platform publishes.
Recorded from the water itself.
Traffik records public maritime and aviation broadcasts continuously into its own archive. Positions reach back to 2022, and US-waters histories reach back a decade or more on request.
Live broadcasts are recorded as they happen, not sampled after the fact. The archive is ours, so every figure can be traced to its source records.
Broadcast identity is checked against registries. Renames and flag changes are confirmed before they are asserted, and every correction keeps its source note.
Coverage varies by region and not every vessel broadcasts. Each surface states its observation limits alongside its figures.
Stated once here.
Enforced on every surface.
Measured means measured
Numbers come from recorded broadcasts. Where coverage has gaps, surfaces say so. Counts from before our live recording era are reported as floors and labeled as floors.
Norms come from the live era only
A growing sensor network looks like a boom if you compare against thin history. Seasonal norms are computed only from periods of equivalent coverage, which is why our index can read quiet when the water is quiet.
Broadcasts outrank paperwork
Identity comes from what the vessel transmits, verified against registries. Owner-entered dimensions are corrected against documentation, and every correction keeps its source.
Forecasts grade themselves in public
Outlooks are labeled as estimates, their drivers are named, and when each window closes the forecast is graded against what was recorded. When we miss, you see by how much.
Attention is reported, never fabricated
Visibility measurement reads official platform sources, states which are live, and scores AI-engine visibility by asking the engines the way real buyers do, keeping the answers as evidence.
Vessels and places, never people
No owner identities, no personal data, no tracking of individuals. The intelligence concerns vessels, harbors and fleets. This is a limit we chose, and it is why our numbers can be published, cited and shared with the other side of a negotiation.
What each label means.
Every figure on the platform and on this site carries one of these labels, so you always know what kind of number you are reading.
| MEASURED | A recorded observation with a date and source records behind it. |
| ESTIMATED | A model output, labeled as such, with its drivers named and its accuracy graded in public. |
| FLOOR | A count that can only undercount, because not every vessel broadcasts. |
| ILLUSTRATIVE | An example interface or scenario on this website. Vessel names are fictional and carry no real data. |
What we cannot see,
we say.
| Tracking gaps | Missing observations are never treated as proof that a vessel remained stationary or was inactive. |
| Non-broadcasting vessels | Some vessels transmit nothing. Measured counts are floors, and are labeled that way. |
| Covered work | Inside a shed, every sensor is blind. Yard stays that span a silence are identified as estimates. |
A measurement company that only reports surges is an advertising company.
