VesselFinder
VesselFinder displays ship positions and movement information received through AIS feeds.
Choose it to look up vessels, ports and the latest available reported positions.
Saved fleets and views help revisit activity, while satellite coverage is a separate tier.
Keep in mind: An old or absent AIS position is not proof of a ship's current location; do not use the app as a navigation authority.
