About this data
The Trends Explorer reflects relative interest in the vessels, ports, places and lighthouses people track on MarineRadar. Every figure is an index from 0–100, normalised against a trailing baseline — not a raw count — so movements stay comparable across entities and over time. Signals are derived from anonymous search and map-tracking activity across 112,000+ vessels and refreshed every few hours from live AIS-driven data. A higher number means attention is growing faster, not that traffic is larger in absolute terms.
