MISNA was organized by the Marine Exchanges of Los Angeles/Long Beach,
San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver, B.C., and is continuing
to expand its coverage. Its purpose is the gathering and dissemination
of shipping information.
MISNA established a common protocol and members share data daily with
each other so that all standard information is available electronically
from any one of the participating MISNA members. The ultimate objective
is to make maritime information available to more people through a simple
data exchange. MISNA’s growth will lead to the availability of this
information through the Internet and similar networks.
Some of the products and services MISNA provides to its clients, governmental
entities, and the interested public are:
- Vessel Monitoring
- ETA’s and ETD’s
- Actual arrivals and departures
- Vessel Traffic Analysis
- Historical vessel movement inquiries
- Port and terminal utilization studies
- Ship tracking
- Expert maritime analysis
MISNA members are continually exploring their capability to enhance
their maritime information services.
MISNA is currently comprised of the following organizations:
- Marine Exchange of Alaska
