Ship tracker

Live ship tracker

See cargo ships, tankers, ferries and fishing boats move along the coasts and through the world’s ports, colored by type.

The data

Data sourceAIS position and voyage reports from terrestrial receivers via AISStream.io.
Update rateGods Eyes’s server keeps one live AIS stream open; the globe refreshes every 60 seconds. A ship is listed while it has reported in the last 30 minutes.
CoverageCoasts, ports, rivers and busy straits within reach of shore-based receivers.
LimitsNo satellite AIS, so ships far offshore go quiet. Destinations are typed by crews and are often stale. No port-call schedules. Private pleasure craft and military vessels are not shown on public pages.
