Trends Explorer
Relative interest across vessels, ports, places and lighthouses — indexed 0–100 from anonymous search and map-tracking activity.
Geo — Where Maritime Interest Comes From
Where maritime interest comes from and goes to — origin and target heat, the busiest corridors, distance mix and the regions drawing the most attention.
Location coverage. 3% of users and 100% of entities carry coordinates. Origins, corridors and distance-to-target below reflect only that located minority; targets and regions use the near-complete entity coordinates. Coordinates are rounded to a coarse grid (about 11 km) before storage, and geographic slices sit behind a minimum-device floor (around 25) applied when the snapshot is built — thin cuts are absent here rather than shown small. How we build these numbers.

TRFrequently asked questions
What does the geo view show?
Where maritime interest comes from and what it is aimed at: origin and target heat, the busiest corridors between them, the distance mix, and the regions drawing the most attention.
What is a corridor?
A frequently repeated pairing between where people are looking from and what they are looking at. It is a line of attention, not a shipping route — no vessel necessarily sails it.
Is this vessel position data?
No. Nothing here is derived from AIS positions. It describes the geography of interest, so a port can be hot on this page while its berths are quiet.
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.
