How does MarineRadar detect nearby ships?

Marine Radar collects AIS, radar, and satellite signals from vessels within range, displaying them on a live map.

Can I see vessels near any port or country?

Yes, you can view ships near your location or search for any port or region globally.

Can I track specific vessels in my area?

Yes. You can search for ships using their IMO, MMSI, or name and view them if they're within range.

Can marine radar track ships without IMO numbers?

Yes, the app can also track vessels using MMSI, call sign, or ship name.

What is the main difference between Terrestrial and Satellite AIS?

Terrestrial AIS utilizes land-based receivers, whereas satellite AIS employs satellites to capture vessel signals worldwide.

Which AIS tracking system is more accurate?

Terrestrial AIS provides more frequent updates near the coast, while satellite AIS offers global tracking even when vessels are far offshore.

Does marine radar use both AIS types?

Yes. Marine Radar utilizes a hybrid system that combines terrestrial AIS and satellite AIS for comprehensive global visibility.

Can Satellite AIS track a ship anywhere?

Yes. Satellite AIS covers all oceans, including remote routes that extend beyond the range of terrestrial receivers.
