About VesselFinder
VesselFinder is the world’s most popular and trusted vessel tracking and marine traffic app, delivering real-time information on ship positions and movements worldwide. Using a powerful network of satellites, roaming and terrestrial AIS receivers, VesselFinder provides accurate and up-to-date insight into global maritime activity.

• Vessel movement history with track visualization
• Predicted routes and ETAs to next port
• Comprehensive vessel particulars, including technical specifications, and cargo capacity information
• Contact details for the owning company, manager, ISM manager, and more
• Port Calls per vessel, showing arrival times and duration of stay
• Port Calls per port, with detailed lists of expected vessels, arrivals, departures, and ships currently in port

Extended real-time coverage via satellite and roaming AIS sources is available through a subscription. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, the completeness of the information cannot be guaranteed.
