Marine Vessel Traffic Description
To provide users with accurate and actionable data, MarineVesselTraffic.com uses real-time filtering and analysis combined with post-processing. The chaotic raw data flow is reduced to 30 million positions per day, one position per ship per minute. In-range vessels will be updated every 60 seconds (1 position report per MMSI each minute). The Live Map (and other websites pages) will update as needed. You can zoom and pan in the normal ways. The timeline at the bottom allows you to skip forward and back in time. You can hide or show different map layers, port names and routes, as well as the background map and routes. The animated ships view shows all recorded vessel positions. You can filter and color by vessel type. The merchant fleet is divided in five categories. Each category has a filter, a CO2 and freight counter that displays the hour.
