description: Datalastic is a maritime data API providing real-time AIS vessel
  tracking, historical ship movements, vessel specifications, and global port
  data over a simple REST interface. A database of 750,000+ ships is queryable
  by MMSI, IMO, or UUID for live position, speed, course, heading, destination,
  and ETA, plus zone traffic monitoring around any coordinate or port, up to 31
  days of historical track per request, vessel and port finder search, and
  asynchronous bulk reports. Access is subscription-based with a monthly credit
  model and api-key authentication.
