What data fields are part of the Enhanced Vessel Data (EVD) free and premium features
Enhanced Vessel Data Field List
ENHANCED VESSEL DATA
ENHANCED VESSEL DATA PARTICULARS
Enhanced Vessel Data (EVD) is a set of additional data that provides further vessel information within the Vessels API for a variety of commercial vessels. This further vessel info relates to:
- Capacity
- Design
- Dimensions
- History
- Propulsion
- Registration
- Vessel and Trading Type
This data is updated on a regular basis. The fields exist within two sets: Default and Extended. Include an embed=enhanced_data parameter within a Vessels API call to request these fields.
