Trends Explorer
Relative interest across vessels, ports, places and lighthouses — indexed 0–100 from anonymous search and map-tracking activity.
Categories — How Maritime Interest Splits
The top-level split of maritime tracking interest — what share each category holds, and how it is shifting versus the prior period.
Frequently asked questions
What does the categories view show?
How maritime tracking interest divides across the four entity types MarineRadar covers — vessels, ports, places and lighthouses — and how each one’s share is shifting.
What does "share" mean here?
The proportion of all tracked interest in the period that went to that category. The shares sum to 100 percent, so a category can lose share while its absolute attention is flat, simply because another category grew.
Does share reflect how many vessels or ports exist?
No. Every figure is relative interest within the MarineRadar panel — how much attention something is getting compared with other entities and with its own baseline. It is not a count of vessels, voyages or cargo, and it should not be read as traffic volume.
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 — not a raw count — re-based each refresh, so read it as relative attention and rank rather than an absolute or cross-time count. Signals are derived from anonymous search and map-tracking activity across 112,000+ vessels and refreshed every few hours. A higher number means attention is growing faster, not that traffic is larger in absolute terms. It reflects what people are watching — not AIS ship positions.
The data moves in real time — so should you
The Explorer shows relative interest. Open the app for the live positions behind it: track any of 112,000+ vessels, refreshed every 5 minutes by satellite.
