Navo24 vs Vizion — API-first container tracking, compared

Vizion and Navo24 agree on the important thing: container tracking should be an API, not a dashboard you log into. If you want a clean, normalised container-events feed, Vizion does that well. This page is about where the two diverge.

The short version

Vizion is, at heart, a container-events data provider — normalised tracking you pull into your own systems. Navo24’s TrackingMCP covers the same ground, then adds three things Vizion wasn’t built to be: MCP-native tools an AI assistant calls directly, ETAs predicted from observed delay plus demurrage free-time, and a shared spine with sailing schedules and load planning.

Where Navo24 is different

	Navo24	Vizion
Container events API	Yes, DCSA-normalised	Yes — a core strength
MCP-native tools	Every capability is an MCP tool	API-first; MCP not the default
ETA philosophy	Predicted from observed delay, honest “no data”	Carrier/event data forward
Demurrage free-time	Carrier’s published terms + the clock	Varies
Beyond tracking	Schedules + load planning on one spine	Tracking-data focused

When Vizion is the better call

If all you need is a robust, well-documented container-events feed to power your own product — and schedules, load planning and MCP tools aren’t on your list — Vizion is a focused, capable choice and we’d happily point you there.

When Navo24 is the better call

Choose Navo24 if you’re building an AI assistant that needs grounded freight tools (not just a data feed), if you want predicted ETAs and demurrage free-time rather than raw events, or if sailing schedules and load planning matter alongside tracking — and you want them sharing one data layer.
