# In your Claude Code terminal:
> Where is the vessel NORDIC POLLUX right now?

# Claude calls get_vessel_position and responds:
# "NORDIC POLLUX (MMSI 211331640) is currently at 53.5432°N, 9.9846°E
#  near Hamburg, Germany. Speed: 12.4 knots, heading 244°, under way using engine."

> Show me all vessels within 50km of Rotterdam port

# Claude calls get_vessels_in_radius with Rotterdam coordinates and returns
# a list of vessels in the area with their positions and navigation status.
