This only covers container ships btw. For full coverage of all vessels, try the 'vessel presence' layer in Global Fishing Watch's interactive map, based on a feed from Spire: https://globalfishingwatch.org/map/

Thanks for the recommendation, looks interesting. I've used Vessel Finder due to something being a nuisance with Marine Traffic.
– is an alternative to FlightRadar24 with more data.

Unfortunately adsbexchange does not allow you to see the source/destination of flights

At least for FR24 you get a "Gold" account (no longer business) simply for running a feed.

Nitpick: It's called Contributor and supposedly has the same features of the previous subscription. It still feels like a setup for future degradation by some marketing genius.

And what’s the similarity to flight radar?

A real time visualization using AIS instead of ADS-B feeds, presumably

as opposed to the dozens of other flight tracker sites?

Meta: I like the use of an actual globe when zoomed out. Wish more things would do this.
Seems to only have a tiny amount of ships compared to marinetraffic.com ?

Seems regionally biased. This map makes it look like the Americas barely see any ship traffic, while the South China Sea is paved with ships from shore to shore.

Seems like it's just cargo ships? And presumably not even all of them.
I'll prefer vesselfinder for marinetraffic.

Did anyone spot the USS Abraham Lincoln?

Interesting, a cool resource for an API endpoint for AIS data so aisstream.io. Seems quite solid. Any one any idea of a good resource for satellite AIS data - I feel like the EU probably funded it and I can’t find anything on capricious etc.

This seems useful speculating on short term oil prices. I believe the straight of hormuz may be closed or rumor of closing. Every expert seems to think that will spike oil prices.

These tools went mainstream when the Houthis started hitting container ships. Watching AIS transponders go dark or vessels suddenly diverting around the Cape was something you just couldn't get from news coverage. And with Hormuz tensions right now, the real-time value is even higher.

Here is a link to oil tankers anchored around the Strait of Hormuz. It has much better filters:
