Coracle Online First to Launch Line of Maritime iPhone and iPod Touch Applications

By Mike Schuler On July 29, 2009

Coracle Online was one of (if not the first) company in the maritime and shipping industry to get into iPhone and iPod Touch application development. Their first application, The Maritime Glossary, provides instant access to over 9,000 nautical terms and abbreviations for anyone with an interest in international trade and the maritime world. The Maritime Glossary is currently available in the iTunes App Store for $4.99 (link to download).

But Coracle is not stopping with just one. Available next week in the iTunes App Store is Ship It!, a fun game that lets players load cargo and, well, ship it, before time runs out. In the video above, you can see a sneak preview that Coracle recently posted on YouTube.

Also in development from Coracle Online is a third application called Ports Information. While details on this app have yet to be released, according to their website, the app provides “comprehensive Port Information on your iPhone and iPod Touch”.

And finally for those of you wondering, YES, gCaptain is in the process of developing its own iPhone and iPod Touch application. While I can’t release the details just yet, stay tuned as we will be doing an official unveiling in coming weeks!
