VOYAGE INFORMATION
Latest reported position and voyage information
Vessels Info shows a vessel's most recently reported position, speed and course alongside its recorded port calls. It is a reference for reported voyage data, not a live tracking map.
What voyage information the app shows
Reported position
Latitude, longitude and heading, stamped with how long ago the position was reported.
Speed, course and draught
Speed in knots, course in degrees and draught in metres, as last reported.
Voyage as reported
Departed-from port, destination port, ETA and load status, with passage progress.
Recorded port calls
The last known history of calls, each with dates and time spent alongside.
What this is not
This is a reported-position reference, and being clear about the limits matters more than the word “tracking”. The app does not provide a continuous live AIS feed, and positions are the latest reported values rather than a real-time stream — each one is labelled with how long ago it arrived. Nothing here is suitable for navigation, collision avoidance or any other safety-critical use. Use certified navigational systems for those.
Voyage history and port calls
Alongside the latest report, each vessel keeps a record of where it has been: the ports it called at, the arrival and departure dates, and how long it stayed alongside. The history is presented newest-first and labelled as last known history.
Port call history and port records covers that side in more detail.
Where voyage data comes from
Position and voyage information is compiled from public registers, licensed providers and other third-party maritime sources. It is not guaranteed to be complete, current or error-free. Gaps between reports are normal, and each position is labelled with how long ago it was reported so you can judge how recent it is.
