BoatDB turns raw US customs records into a fast, browsable map of global trade. Search any importer to see who they buy from, what they ship, which countries and ports their cargo moves through, and the vessels that carry it — all cross-linked so you can follow a supply chain from company to shipment to ship in a few clicks.
Our records are compiled from publicly available US import (bill of lading) and maritime data sources published by government agencies. We clean, structure and index them for speed. The data is provided for informational and research purposes — see our Terms for details, and our Privacy Policy if you'd like records reviewed or removed.
We build bespoke reports and datasets on importers, suppliers, vessels and ports — competitor tracking, supplier discovery, market sizing and more. Tell us what you need.
