MarineTraffic - Ship Tracking
MarineTraffic is an app that provides near real-time positions of ships and yachts worldwide. It utilizes a network of land-based AIS receivers to cover major ports and shipping routes. The app allows users to view vessels on a live map, search for ships and seaports, and see what's near them. With over 300,000 vessels reporting their positions per day, users can also access live wind and 48-hour wind forecasts on the map, as well as animated playback of a vessel's track. The app provides live information on port arrivals and departures, current conditions in ports, and estimated time of arrival for boats and ships. Users can also manage their list of vessels, browse millions of ship-related photos, and upload photos directly to the app. MarineTraffic offers additional features through in-app purchases, including satellite tracking for vessels beyond the range of land-based AIS receivers and an augmented reality tool to identify and track vessels in the surrounding area. The app also provides a route planner tool to plan routes on the map, measure distances, and calculate estimated time of arrival. MarineTraffic offers various auto-renewable subscriptions for access to additional features such as extended vessel and port details, nautical charts, weather maps, and advanced density maps. Each subscription is available on a monthly or annual basis, with prices ranging from $1.99 to $95.99 (USD) per renewal. The app provides detailed information on payment terms and renewal policies. Users are also encouraged to join the MarineTraffic community.
