Sponsored placements
SeaLagom carries no advertising networks, no tracking ads and no affiliate links. A company can still be seen here in a few plain ways, each one clearly labelled.
On the sky map and our map
- Your company logo on your own vessels, matched by their MMSI or IMO numbers to public AIS positions.
- Your office or branch at its place, with its business contacts.
- Your satellite on its real orbit, by its NORAD number or a TLE.
- Anything else, described in words, shown as a mark with its card.
A placement shows on the sky and sea view near its place, and on our map in a layer visitors switch on. It carries your name as placed by you and the word Sponsored. It is free for people; a company sets a contribution, at least the amount the form shows for its request. It lasts up to 12 months.
On our guides
At the end of the marine resource guides and the noon report guides, a company can propose one sponsored sentence with one link, a sponsored paragraph, or an annual partner placement across the related pages. The link to propose one is at the end of each guide.
Starting prices
- One sponsored sentence with one link: $390
- A sponsored paragraph with one link: $990
- An annual partner placement across the related pages: $99 a month plus $190 setup, prepaid as $1,378 for 12 months
- Your satellite on its real orbit in the sky view: $360
- A mark on our map: $240
Prices are in US dollars and cover 12 months. On the sky map they are for companies; people place for free. The form shows the price of your own request before you send anything.
The rules for every sponsored item
- 1It is marked Sponsored. On the sky and on the map it also says Placed by, with the company's name.
- 2Its link carries rel="sponsored".
- 3On the guides it is one factual sentence, or the one paragraph that was bought, with one link.
- 4It makes no claim of GMDSS or safety compliance, type approval, an official status or an endorsement by SeaLagom or anyone else.
- 5It never changes the warnings or the data and is never shown as official data. Like everything here, it is not for navigation.
- 6Every request is checked before anything is shown, and SeaLagom keeps editorial control of the exact text.
- 7Well known places cannot be chosen in the form: landmarks, busy straits, canals and port entrances, military and government sites, sanctioned waters, and positions close to an aid to navigation named in the warnings in force. Write to us for those.
- 8Requests linked to sanctions or to military use are declined.
- 9It is prepaid in full, by card or in crypto. If the text is declined after the payment, the payment is returned in full.
- 10An item proposed with the link at the end of a guide is shown for 12 months, and before the end a renewal is offered at the same terms plus 10%. A placement made on the sky map with Place your own runs up to 12 months and renews only as a new request. Nothing renews by itself.
- 11SeaLagom can remove it at any time. If a claim in it proves false, it is removed without a refund. For any other reason, the unused days are refunded.
- 12An offer for an item proposed at the end of a guide is confirmed in writing and stays valid for 72 hours. The pay links of an approved placement made on the sky map stay open for 14 days.
Your own agent can do it
An offer for a sponsored mention comes with a private page where you pay, talk to our offer chat or send your own agent. The page has an address for agents and an MCP server, so your agent can read the rules and the quote and answer on its own. For anything larger, write to contact@sealagom.com.
Not for navigation
Ships, warnings and positions here can be late, incomplete or wrong. Navigate only with official charts and publications.
