Membership Update Announcement

~9/9/2022 – PACTRACS Users,

In alignment with our non-profit mission, we continue to strive to deliver a portfolio of maritime services to our members at the best price. With recent economic impacts being felt across the nation, we developed a lower cost option for obtaining satellite AIS data that would still meet most of our members’ needs.

For instance, currently if you have a Satellite login (Chiefmate) you are paying $1400 a year if you switch to the New Gold level the cost is $1120 a year, a savings of $280.  Check out our Benefits and Services table below and, if you want to try one of our new GOLD membership levels or just have questions about your login either; send us an email or give us a call at 907-463-4850

On the other hand, if you want to stay with your current PACTRACS plan no action is needed.

We released an update for PACTRACS yesterday that targeted the issue that was identified recently. If you are still experiencing loss of functionality, please contact us right away so we can diagnose the issue further for your particular case.

We’re sorry for any problems this has caused, and we remain committed to restoring the full functionality that you’re accustomed to receiving from PACTRACS.
