get_vessel_imoLABSCO SUMMARY
Cut-off dates without the carrier portal.
The two questions that decide whether a container makes a sailing — when are the deadlines, and what else is calling at this port — come back in one exchange instead of a login and three screens.
What it is
A Python server over Maersk's public APIs. Give it a vessel name and get_vessel_imo resolves the IMO number; give it an IMO number, voyage number, port of loading and ISO country code and get_vessel_schedule returns that sailing's schedule and deadlines as readable text.
What you get
- get_vessel_imo turns a vessel name — what people actually quote — into the IMO number the other calls need
- get_vessel_schedule returns schedule and shipment deadlines for one sailing, summarised rather than as raw JSON
- get_port_calls lists the vessels calling at a port over the next week, from a country code and a city name
Requirements
A Maersk API consumer key, supplied in the environment. Run from source with Python 3.11 or later, or pull the prebuilt image dipankan001/maersk-mcp:v1, which takes the key as an -e flag on docker run.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — docker pull dipankan001/maersk-mcp:v1, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Checking whether you will make the cut-off
Vessel, voyage and load port in; the sailing's shipment deadlines back as plain text.
02
Turning a vessel name into an IMO number
Schedules are keyed on IMO numbers and conversations are not. One call bridges the two.
03
Seeing what is calling at a port this week
A country code and a city name return the vessels due there over the next seven days — the shortlist you want before you book.
