Live AIS with vessel photos from Wikimedia, flag identification, arrival times, and an unlimited watchlist of your favorites. The browser tab for when the water is the thing you watch — the map behind this text is live.
Live AIS from a worldwide receiver network, and a 30-day time machine when you want to know how she came in, where she anchored, and when she slipped out.
This card is being fetched right now — a live hull from the register, her Wikimedia photo, her particulars. Every one of 250k+ vessel pages gets this treatment: photo, flag, dimensions, track, port calls.
Who just came in, where, and how long ago — extracted from live AIS every half hour, nationwide. The board a spotter checks before grabbing the camera bag.
Miss the arrival? Scrub back to it. Replay any window in the last 30 days and watch the whole harbor move — the pilot boat run, the tug dance, the anchorage shuffle. Below: six real hours, animated.
1,480 harbor pages with live vessels-in-port and arrival history. This board ranks the busiest harbors right now — each links to its live page.
GOES GeoColor from orbit, refreshed every five minutes — read the marine layer and the light before you drive to the point.
The vessel register streams "just arrived" from the port-events record and ranks the fastest hulls underway — then filters 250k+ vessels by silhouette, flag, or your own starred fleet. Every row opens the vessel's page: photo, flag, particulars, track, port calls.
Wikimedia photos on every detail card — credited and correctly licensed.
Flag state from the MMSI's MID code, on the card and in the register.
Star as many vessels as you want. Your list lives on your device.
Every recorded position for any vessel, drawn as a track on the chart.
Name, MMSI, IMO, callsign, or destination — straight to the vessel.
Point the phone at the water — AIS labels overlay the camera view.
Web in any browser · iPhone & iPad native app · Apple TV harbor-watch mode for the living room · Apple Watch on your wrist. Watchlists and marks stay in sync.
Live AIS, vessel photos, flag identification, historical tracks, and an unlimited watchlist — all in the browser, built for people who actually watch the water.
Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia — freely licensed maritime imagery, shown with its license and photographer credit.
Yes. Vessels broadcast destination and ETA over AIS; the detail card shows both, and port pages list arriving traffic.
Most positions update within two minutes of the original VHF broadcast. Coastal density is high near major ports and shipping lanes; open-ocean coverage depends on receiver range.
