AEML Shipping Region Gauge — Port & Maritime Disruption Triangle
x402
AEML Shipping Region Gauge — Port & Maritime Disruption Triangle is a paid API for AI agents from aeml-x402.zeabur.app, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).
Returns a three-leg observable gauge for a named port/shipping region: sea-state disruption risk (WMO marine + wind vs operational thresholds), sea-state causal decomposition (swell vs local storm vs distant groundswell), and live AIS vessel-flow throughput/congestion, with a cross-validated narrative on whether sea-state disruption has propagated to actual vessel flow.

How this service works
[3-LEG] Shipping chokepoint chain, one chokepoint or port (?loc=malacca): leading sea state and wind against operating thresholds -> current wave decomposition, local storm against distant swell -> realized AIS transit throughput (confirmation gate). A sequential chain, not one reading - confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: IMF PortWatch, NOAA, Open-Meteo Marine. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed.
Output
A structured JSON object with: (1) 'legs' object containing named signal readings for each of the three triangle legs (sea-state/WMO, swell decomposition, AIS throughput/congestion) with current values, observation timestamps, data age, and record hashes; (2) a cross_line_narrative string describing whether sea-state disruption has propagated to vessel flow; (3) provenance metadata including freshness status, data lineage, and oldest leg age; (4) an Ed25519-signed _citation block for zero-trust offline verification; (5) decision_points listing swappable parameters for re-runs; (6) grade and scope disclaimers indicating this is screening-level observational data, not decision-grade forecasting.
Example use cases
Tanker route chokepoint disruption check
“Check the Strait of Hormuz right now — is the sea state bad enough to disrupt tanker operations, what's causing the swells, and has AIS vessel traffic actually dropped as a result?”
Supply chain early warning for port delays
“I'm tracking container shipping through Suez — give me the three-leg gauge: current marine conditions vs thresholds, swell origin, and real AIS throughput, and tell me whether the weather disruption has already hit vessel flow.”
Cross-validating weather vs AIS congestion signal
“For the Taiwan Strait, I want to know if the current sea state is above the operational threshold, whether that's from a local storm or distant groundswell, and whether the AIS data confirms ships are actually slowing down or piling up.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://aeml-x402.zeabur.app/gauge/shipping-regionWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call triangulated picture of both physical sea conditions AND actual vessel flow at a named maritime chokepoint or port — particularly when you want cross-validation between meteorological disruption signals and AIS-confirmed traffic impacts. Prefer this over raw weather APIs when you need the logistics interpretation layer, and over standalone AIS feeds when you need the causal sea-state context. Best for supply chain monitoring agents, freight risk dashboards, and commodity flow intelligence that needs verifiable, citable observational data rather than forecasts.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized loc parameter — returns error or empty legs
- AISstream data unavailable for a region — leg may be stale or missing
- Open-Meteo Marine API outage — sea-state leg may show stale/dead_source flag
- Freshness threshold exceeded — provenance.freshness returns 'stale'
- Chokepoint outside covered geography — 422 or empty response
- Payment not received (x402) — 402 Payment Required before data is returned
- All three legs stale simultaneously — cross_line_narrative may be unreliable
