The sea, right now
Live ship map.
Explore maritime traffic, select a vessel and discover its position, speed and reported destination.
The visible count refers to the current zoom; loaded vessels can lie outside the screen. Use Show all loaded to include them. Closely positioned vessels can overlap: zoom in to separate them.
Name search is worldwide and matches the start of the name, with up to 50 results. Faded markers show reports older than 30 minutes; last known positions can be days old. Always check the report time.
The map uses Open Waters last known positions and refreshes every minute. Moving vessels have reports from the last 30 minutes; stationary vessels can have reports up to 7 days old. Worldwide search can return even older positions: always check the date and time. Coverage may leave vessels missing.
Destination and ETA are reported onboard and can be missing or out of date. This map tracks vessels; it does not confirm a container’s presence or shipment status.
