PACTRACS Users,
We have just enabled a new feature in the mobile version (tablets and phones) of PACTRACS that many have requested for sometime.
To access: Once you are logged into PACTRACS on your phone/tablet, If you click on the 3 lines on the toolbar at the bottom left it will bring up the main menu like below. You now have the option to change filters and/or zones in the mobile version by using the drop-down menus see pic below in red box. With this new capability you will no longer need to go back to the desktop version to change filters or zones when you are using the mobile version.
A Big Thanks! to our programmers for adding this new feature and If you have any questions don't hesitate to send them our way.

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 had an update to the Vessel Display system this afternoon.
One of the updates was to the version on your ipad or tablet, as there were still some issues with losing targets when zooming in and out. Please log-in with your mobile device and give us feedback on whether you see improvement. Make sure to complete steps below before hand.
1) Go to the “Settings” page on the iPhone. Scroll down and press “Safari”.
2) Ensure the “Block Cookies” line says “Never”, Press “Clear History” and Press “Clear Cookies and Data if that option is present”
Then restart phone/tablet. Log-In and see if issues have been resolved.
