Do you ever wonder where those giant cargo ships in the distance are headed, or want to track the progress of a delivery containing that special item you ordered? Well, wonder no more! Vessel tracking websites allow you to see the real-time locations of ships around the globe.

Here are some of the most popular free websites to track any vessel:

Marine Traffic: offers a user-friendly interface with near real-time ship positions and detailed information on each vessel, including photos and past movements.

Vessel Finder: is another great option for free vessel tracking. Similar to Marine Traffic, it displays ship positions and information in real-time.

Vessel Tracker: provides free vessel tracking with additional features available through their paid subscription service, "Cockpit".

My Ship Tracking: offers a free and easy-to-use platform to track ships in real-time.

Using these websites is simple. Typically, you can enter a vessel name or identification number (MMSI) into the search bar to see its current location and track its movements. Some websites also allow you to browse ships by type, port, or even their destination. Happy tracking!a
