The short version

  • Only FleetMon has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: FleetMon service discontinued in January 2024 and fully phased out with transition to MarineTraffic; NAPA Fleet Intelligence model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.
  • They diverge on capability: FleetMon covers Global vessel tracking, NAPA Fleet Intelligence covers NAPA Performance Model.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

NAPA Fleet Intelligence

  • A fleet arguing a charter party speed and consumption claim and needing model-backed evidencenot FleetMon

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

FleetMon

  • Service discontinued in January 2024 and fully phased out with transition to MarineTraffic
  • Free tier coverage was limited compared to premium plans requiring subscription fees
  • Data gaps in regions with poor terrestrial AIS infrastructure before satellite coverage was added

NAPA Fleet Intelligence

  • Model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.
  • Pricing is per vessel and unpublished, and modular scoping means the quote you compare against a competitor may not cover the same functions.
  • Building the vessel-specific performance model requires hull form and design data that owners of older or second-hand tonnage often do not have, which turns onboarding into a data hunt.
  • It is a monitoring and advisory layer, not a system of record; you still run a separate planned maintenance system, a chartering system and a crewing system.
  • NAPA is strongest in the design and stability world, and its operational reference base, while real, is smaller than the pure voyage-optimisation specialists, so integration breadth with commercial shipping software is narrower.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

FleetMon: Does FleetMon work globally?

FleetMon had access to positions from both terrestrial AIS receiver stations and satellite AIS through partnership with exactEarth, providing undelayed signals from its network combined with global space-based tracking.

Source
NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Do we need onboard sensors?

No. NAPA can produce performance analysis from AIS and noon reports using its hydrodynamic model, though instrumented data improves accuracy.

FleetMon: What happened to FleetMon after 2024?

FleetMon was phased out from January 2024 as part of its integration into MarineTraffic following Kpler's acquisition of both platforms in March 2023. The FleetMon brand no longer accepts new registrations or offers new services.

Source
NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Does it handle EU ETS and CII?

Yes, emissions calculation and regulatory reporting for EU MRV, IMO DCS, CII and EU ETS are covered.

FleetMon: Could you track individual vessels in real-time with FleetMon?

Yes, FleetMon Explorer provided live AIS vessel tracking with filtering by vessel class, flag, length, speed, navigational status and signal age, enabling real-time monitoring of individual ships from a global overview to single vessel level.

Source
NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Is it the same NAPA used for ship design?

Yes, same company, and Fleet Intelligence reuses the hydrodynamic modelling from that business.

FleetMon: What was the starting price for FleetMon Explorer?

FleetMon Explorer pricing started at €54 per month, with subscription plans offering varying levels of access including free basic plans and paid tiers with additional features like historical tracking up to three years back.

Source
NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Is pricing published?

No. It is licensed per vessel by module, quoted per fleet.
