Ditch provides captains with the smartest routes by leveraging advanced AI to analyze billions of data points, empowering confident navigation. Our proprietary Smart Path™ technology considers AIS data and local knowledge to create the safest and most efficient routes for your boat.

KEY FEATURES

Breadth & Depth: We combine multiple sources of satellite-based AIS data with high-resolution NOAA depth soundings and US Army Corps of Engineers bathymetry surveys, offering unparalleled coverage and detail.

Constant Evolution: We're continuously expanding our data sources and refining our algorithms, ensuring that Smart Path™ is always learning and improving. In fact, our latest version utilizes roughly 10 times the amount of data compared to previous iterations.

Recency: We prioritize fresh data, filtering out outdated information to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date recommendations.

Transparency: We believe in empowering our users. That's why we provide a layer that allows captains to visualize a sample of the AIS data that Smart Path™ uses to generate routes. This provides valuable insights to the captain into the decision-making process and helps build trust in our technology.

Comprehensive Picture: By combining NOAA depths, USACE bathymetry, and satellite AIS data, we give captains a comprehensive view of the underwater landscape and vessel traffic patterns, providing a unique advantage in route planning. In addition to NOAA depth sounding contours, Ditch includes the U.S. Army Corps of engineers survey data (where available) at no extra cost.
