Scheduled - Dear Spire Maritime Platform User:
Spire Maritime is pleased to announce the launch of new versions of all Spire Canada (formerly exactEarth) Services.
To meet the requirements for processing increasing data volumes from an expanding set of data sources for a growing client base, Spire Maritime is migrating the services below to new implementations, on an improved and scalable cloud architecture from April 2024. Once cut over dates are finalized, additional notifications and updates will be posted.
If you currently access any of the services listed, then from early April 2024 they will be served from servers on different TCP/IP network addresses than at present. Please ensure that any firewall rules or other networking restrictions are updated to allow access to the new Spire servers.
Service: Uniproxy
DNS addresses: • uniproxy.exactearth.com • uniproxy-1.exactearth.com • uniproxy-2.exactearth.com
New TCP/IP addresses: • 54.71.176.173 • 52.13.91.114 • 54.200.122.187
Spire Maritime are removing the satellite Name information from Messages API responses by the 1st May 2024.
We are writing to give you notice about the removal of the satellite IDs from the Messages API. Satellite ID values are currently returned as the source value in the AIS message records returned by the Messages API. Satellite ID values will be replaced with the label satellite.
This is demonstrated in the sample message below from the Messages API.
The source value changing from a satellite ID value FM88 to the label satellite.
The deadline for this change is 1st May 2024
In the coming weeks we will be issuing new tokens to use with the Messages API that hide satellite ID and can be used to test before swapping to the new configuration. Please prepare to make this change as soon as possible and in plenty time to prevent disruption to your data supply.
In case you would like to discuss how this will impact your service then please reply to this email and we can investigate it further with you
We are pleased to announce that the Geospatial Web Services (GWS) and Shipview platforms will be migrated to the new IP range on April 30, 2024 between the hours of 14:00UTC and 16:00 UTC. Uniproxy and SFTP services will be migrated in May. An update will be sent out to all users when the Uniproxy and SFTP services will be migrated to the new IP ranges.
Maintenance Details: Spire Scheduled IP Range Update for Geospatial Web Services and ShipView Maintenance Window
Start: Tuesday, April 30, 2024 14:00 UTC
End: Tuesday, April 30, 2024 16:00 UTC
Please note: the full duration of the maintenance window will be Two (2) Hours.
The following services below will be updated to the new IP ranges as listed during the maintenance window. The update should be transparent to all users. We do not anticipate any disconnection in services. Users will automatically connect to the new platform when their clients will resolve the new IP address.
Shipview Users – any user configuration changes made during this 2 hour window will not be migrated to the new platform. Therefore, we do recommend to refrain from making any updates to layers, alerts and preferences during this maintenance window.
New TCP/IP addresses: • 13.42.139.175 • 13.43.28.182 • 18.130.162.24
