MarineTraffic - Ship Tracking

Track Ships on a Live Map

MarineTraffic - Ship Tracking is a Maps & Navigation app for following commercial vessels, ferries, yachts, and other AIS-equipped ships around the world. It suits maritime professionals, coastal residents, travelers, and ship enthusiasts who want more detail than a standard map provides. Search for a particular vessel, browse nearby traffic, or use the map to inspect shipping activity in a chosen area.

Vessel and Port Information

The app uses AIS data to show vessel positions and related details, including a ship’s name, location, speed, flag, and movement when available. It also covers arrivals and departures for thousands of ports and marinas, with estimated arrival information that can help when following a ferry, planning a harbor visit, or checking a vessel’s progress.

• Search for individual ships and view their current or recent movements.
• Check port activity, including expected arrivals and departures.
• Review past routes with animated track playback.
• Use the augmented-reality view to identify ships visible from the shoreline.
• Keep selected vessels together in a personal fleet list across supported devices and the web.

Useful for Regular Monitoring

MarineTraffic puts a large amount of maritime data into one mobile interface. The map is designed for zooming, searching, and filtering, although newcomers may need some time to understand the symbols and available information. The app is most useful when you already have a ship, port, route, or coastal area in mind rather than when you need ordinary road navigation.
