VesselFinder

Track and learn about marine vessels in real time with VesselFinder

VesselFinder is an innovative app that lets you track and observe marine vessels around the globe, all in real time. This app leverages a vast network of satellites and AIS receivers, delivering detailed and up-to-date information on over 200,000 ships every day. Whether you're a maritime enthusiast, a professional seafarer, or someone who simply loves to keep tabs on the waterways, VesselFinder is the perfect tool for you.

The app’s features are comprehensive and well-thought-out. Users can search for ships by name, IMO number, or MMSI number. Each ship's profile includes a plethora of information such as name, flag, type, destination, ETA, draught, course, speed, gross tonnage, year built, and size. You can even view a ship's movement history, offering a fascinating insight into its journey.

Port enthusiasts are not left out either. A port can be located by its name or LOCODE. Once a port is selected, the app provides a detailed list of vessels expected, arrived, departed, and currently in the port. For those who have favorite vessels or ports, the 'My Fleet' and 'My Views' features allow users to save and quickly navigate to these preferences.

One of the major highlights of VesselFinder is its user-contributed ship photos. This feature brings a unique and personal touch to the app, allowing users to visually connect with the ships they are tracking. The app also offers various map views - simple, detailed, dark, and satellite - along with weather layers showing temperature, wind, and waves.

VesselFinder also includes a 'See Your Location' feature and a distance measure tool, adding more versatility to the app. And while the completeness and accuracy of the provided information can't be guaranteed due to AIS signal availability, VesselFinder does an excellent job of updating vessel positions as soon as they come into range.

In conclusion, VesselFinder is a comprehensive, user-friendly, and informative vessel tracking app. Whether you're tracking a single ship or monitoring the comings and goings of an entire port, this app is an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in maritime activity.
