About MarineTraffic
MarineTraffic shows a near real-time map of ship positions around the world, built from AIS signals. You can search a database of more than 550,000 active and decommissioned vessels, look up vessel details and photos, and find the locations of ports.
It is used both by curious members of the public watching ships near a harbour and by maritime businesses that want tracking data. It suits anyone who wants to know where a particular ship is or what is sailing nearby.
