LagoPal
LagoPal lives in the chat bubble at the bottom right of every page. Ask it in plain words, in any language: it searches live NAVAREA and coastal warnings, explains them, and prepares the files your bridge needs. Here is everything it can do on each plan.
Free$0
For everyone, no account needed for most of it.
- Answers questions about NAVAREA and coastal warnings, NAVTEX, GMDSS, ECDIS user charts and the site itself
- Takes you to any NAVAREA, coastal region, the map or any page with one button, and the chat stays open with the same conversation
- Builds search links by NAVAREA, coastal country, keyword, GMDSS priority (Distress, Pan Pan, Securite) and free text
- Prepares exports: TXT of active warnings is free; other formats open the search page ready to go
- Opens the archive of cancelled and expired warnings, free for everyone, 50 warnings at a time
- Shows any single warning by its number, with its summary, right in the chat
- The summary, type, place, hazards and validity of every warning on its page and on the map; the action for mariners, keep-clear distance, contacts and ships come with Lagom and up
- Explains plans and prices; logged-in users can subscribe, check their plan and open billing from the chat
- Passes your question or bug report to our team, and saves attached files (ECDIS samples, screenshots) for them
- Takes you there in the sky view: a ship by name, MMSI or IMO (1 nm off her, or from her bridge), a warning by its number, a port by name or UN/LOCODE, a well-known place or a position; a few a day to try, more with Full Contributor and the plans above it. Not for navigation
- Replies in whatever language you write in
Try asking
"Take me to EVER GIVEN"
"I need NAVAREA III"
"What NAVAREA and coastal regions do you cover?"
"I need NAVAREA II and III for my Furuno ECDIS"
"Show me warning 937/26"
"How do I import a TRANSAS .aiz file?"
Contributor$9/month
Passage planning and searches across the regions.

Try asking
"Export archived NAVAREA I warnings from August as KML"
Full Contributor$20/month
The full LagoPal: heavy searches, compiled files and reading your documents.
- Sets up email alerts from one sentence: "email me about space debris around the USA" becomes an alert checked automatically against every new warning in every region
- Everything in Contributor, on a stronger model with a much larger message allowance
- Finds and shows any warnings in the chat: by words in the text, near a position (radius in NM), by severity or by region
- Compiles every warning on a topic and period, active and archived (up to 300), into one file in ANY format below
- PDF reports carry SeaLagom's summary on every warning
- Reads what you attach: ECDIS or NAVTEX screenshots, photos, PDFs, text, CSV, KML, GPX and RTZ route files
Try asking
"Set up email notifications for space debris, only around the USA"
"Make a PDF of all piracy warnings from the last 3 months"
"Firing exercises off Norway this year for my JRC ECDIS"
"Anything dangerous within 30 NM of 36-10N 014-20E?"
"Here is a screenshot of my ECDIS alarm - what does it mean?"

LagoPal in Telegram
Talk to LagoPal right in Telegram: @sealagom_bot. Just type, no commands needed; it keeps the thread of a conversation for 30 minutes, then forgets it. Free questions every day; link your account (Profile, Security) for your plan's share, watches of your regions, a morning digest, and on paid plans voice messages and photos. In any chat, type @sealagom_bot and a NAVAREA, a port or a word to share a warning.
Why LagoPal
General chatbots have no live access to navigational warnings. LagoPal works on SeaLagom's own data: every active NAVAREA and coastal warning, each one analysed for validity, action for mariners, keep-clear distances, contacts, vessels and aids to navigation, plus the export formats bridge ECDIS units actually import. It is built and corrected by a working mariner.
LagoPal supplements, and never replaces, the official warnings you are required to monitor. Always check the original text; it stays the authoritative source.
