Maritime Exchange

Through the Marine Exchange, The NOBOT keeps track of all commercial vessels entering and departing the Mississippi River.  Information is obtained form Pilots, Coast Guard, and other sources to ensure accuracy and timely information of vessel arrivals and departures.  Under the Reports section this website, you will find arrival and departure information on all vessels that have entered/departed the Mississippi River during the current calendar year.  The NOBOT also maintains a database of all vessel arrival and departure dating back to 1995.  In addition, arrival statistics are kept dating back to 1960.

Through our relationship with ShipTracks, we offer AIS tracking of vessels not only for the Mississippi River, but Gulf, East, West Coasts and several key international ports.  More can be learned about ShipTracks from the AIS section of the website.

Through our sister organization, The Marine Exchange for the Delaware River and Bay, we offer a program fro vessel agents to submit the vessel's Notice of Arrival to the USCG.

Answering Service

The NOBOT operates a state of the art answering service which is only offered to companies in the maritime industry.  Answering Service staff can patch the call to the person on duty, or take messages for retrieval at a later time.  We also have the capability to email and fax messages and offer detailed billing to meet all of our customers' needs.

Both the Answering Service and Marine Exchange are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by trained marine operators.
