What is MarineRadar
MarineRadar is a real-time vessel tracking and maritime intelligence platform. It provides live AIS-based ship positions, detailed vessel information, and comprehensive databases of ports and lighthouses worldwide.
The platform aggregates data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) — the transponder-based tracking system required on international voyaging ships by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Port data follows the UN/LOCODE standard, and lighthouse information is sourced from official Lists of Lights published by hydrographic offices.
MarineRadar is available as a free app on iOS and Android, and as a full-featured web application at marineradar.com.
