Searoutes review
A data-focused choice for vessel tracking, ocean routing, and freight emissions.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Searoutes provides APIs and a no-code web platform for freight emissions reporting, ocean routing, and vessel tracking. It is designed for cargo owners, freight forwarders, vessel owners, and logistics platforms that need maritime movement data, route calculations, or multimodal emissions analysis. Its capabilities include AIS-based vessel positions, predicted ETAs, historical voyages, port call intelligence, carrier and service search, location geocoding, weather data, dashboards, certificates, and EU ETS tools.
The published plans show a paid pricing structure. Vessel tracking costs €300 per month and includes vessel-specific data, last known positions, speed and draft, historical AIS tracks, port call intelligence, a fleet monitoring dashboard, and API access. Ocean routing costs €400 per month and adds vessel-specific route calculation, historical-vessel-position routing, shortest sailed route calculation, distance and transit-time calculations, and multimodal routing support. Freight emissions is a separate plan covering multimodal CO₂e calculations, GLEC-accredited and ISO-14083-aligned calculations, ocean carrier schedules, fuel life-cycle data, CO₂e intensity, exportable PDF certificates, and API access.
Searoutes fits teams that want transportation data embedded into operational or analytical workflows. The web platform supports dashboards and certificates, while the API exposes vessel positions, ETAs, voyage history, routing, emissions, geocoding, carrier and service data, and weather information. Its strongest focus is ocean visibility and route intelligence, with emissions coverage across sea, air, road, rail, and inland waterways. Choose it for vessel tracking, ocean route planning, or freight-emissions calculations; choose an alternative when shipment exception management and control-tower workflows are the primary requirement.
Searoutes pros and cons
- Where it wins
- AIS positions, predicted ETAs, and historical voyage tracks
- Vessel-specific routing with distance and transit-time calculations
- Multimodal emissions calculations with exportable PDF certificates
- Where it doesn't
- Paid plans start at €300 per month
- More data and routing focused than a full exception-management control tower
- Buyers needing broad shipment exception management may need another platform
