Port Guide & Distances is a practical offline voyage-planning toolkit for seafarers. Look up port information worldwide and calculate sailing distances and ETAs with flexible routing options and clear map visualization.

Port Guide
• Global Port data with key operational information for ships (Pilotage, anchorage, vhf etc.)
• Fast search and easy browsing during planning and execution

Map-Based Port Search
• Find ports directly on a world map with clear visualization and positioning
• Quickly identify nearby ports and switch from map to port details

Port Tips
• A community-powered port tips section with real seafarer notes by port (cargo ops, draft survey, terminal routines, mooring, clearance, and more)
• Browse approved tips and submit your own; once approved, you earn Marcoin to your bonus wallet

Port Distances & Route Planning
• Calculate distance and ETA between any ports worldwide
• Add up to 10 intermediate ports (via ports) to build complex routes
• Visualize your route on an interactive map
• View route points/coordinates along the track for better situational awareness
• Show your GPS position on the map for quick reference

Map Layers & Navigation Options
• Overlay navigation-related layers such as ECA zones, Load Line, War risk area, NAVTEX etc.
• Option to avoid selected straits and route around them when required

Port History
• Build your personal voyage log: add ports, create voyages, and keep everything structured
• Add attachments to each voyage (cargo docs, draft surveys, photos, reports, etc.)
• Quick access: tap any port in Port History to open the same port in Port Guide (detailed info)
• Voyage → Distance: open Port Distance directly from a saved voyage with automatic route calculation and map visualization
• Stats dashboard: track port calls, activity overview, and basic voyage statistics
• Export & share: generate a clean PDF report for sharing and record-keeping
• Secure backup: Port History data can be backed up and restored to protect your records

Who It’s For
Captains, officers, cadets, and shore staff who need a clear, fast way to plan routes and check port details.

Typical Use Cases
• Initial voyage planning before departure
• Quick re-checks when orders, routing constraints, or operational plans change
• Comparing alternative routes and ETAs, including multi-leg voyages

Notes
• An internet connection is required only on the first launch of the Port Guide tab and only on the first launch of the Distance tab (to initialize data for each module).
• Distances and ETAs are estimates and may vary depending on route choices and operating conditions.
