MarineTraffic is a maritime analytics provider,[1] which provides real-time information on the movements of ships and the current location of ships in harbors and ports.[2] A database of information on the vessels includes for example details of the location where they were built plus dimensions of the vessels, gross tonnage and International Maritime Organisation (IMO) number. Users can submit photographs of the vessels which other users can rate.
The basic MarineTraffic service can be used without cost; more advanced functions such as satellite-based tracking are available subject to payment.[3]
The site has six million unique visitors on a monthly basis. In April 2015, the service had 600,000 registered users.[4][5]
