MarineTraffic

MarineTraffic MarineTraffic for Android provides real-time vessel tracking and fleet movement insights, plus detailed live weather forecasts using your location or coordinates.

MarineTraffic

MarineTraffic is a maritime tracking and monitoring app built for seafarers and shipping professionals. By using up-to-date real-time tracking technology, it lets you monitor where ships are now and how conditions around them are changing across the sea. The result is a clearer picture of fleet activity and vessel movement.

The app also includes detailed weather forecasts. Just enter your location or use latitude and longitude to see current and historical weather information in real time—so you can tailor updates to your needs. More advanced capabilities are available too, such as satellite-based vessel and fleet tracking, along with access to maritime databases for deeper vessel research.

Key Features

MarineTraffic offers straightforward, easy-to-read weather updates so you can check the most important details quickly. You’ll receive immediate alerts for severe weather and can follow those warnings directly in the app, helping you prepare in advance and stay safe at sea.

On Android, you can switch between multiple map layouts to match how you want to view the area. Options include:

User Reviews

• “Great app, but it needs a +/- zoom button. Pinching to zoom on a tablet isn’t always ideal. I noticed you have a zoom button on your website—so I’m surprised it wasn’t added to the app. Thanks for the update and adding the zoom button. Since the latest upgrade, though, it doesn’t feel the way it used to, and I’m not happy with it.”

  



• “I absolutely love the new update! I enjoy the surprise factor—every launch feels unpredictable because the map doesn’t always stay where I left it. The new gray palette is calming and reduces distractions, especially for ships. I also like the interactive behavior where tapping a vessel zooms you to an unexpected view. It keeps my navigation reflexes sharp. Nice work!”

• “This new update is terrible. If you can’t switch mine back to the original version, can I get a refund so I can use another app? You clearly knew it was a bad idea from the moment the design changed. I can’t even pull up ships or do basic tasks. Please confirm whether a refund is possible or fix what’s broken.”

• “After the new upgrade, my starter plan (renewable, Oct 26) was changed to Mobile Pro with 244 days remaining. The app keeps telling me I must upgrade now to Mobile Pro, but my profile shows Mobile Pro even though I only paid for the starter plan. The app’s features suggest I don’t have the access I should. Could you clarify?”

Final Thoughts

With a user-friendly interface and mobile access, MarineTraffic helps you reach real-time vessel data and analyze ship movement anywhere, anytime. This makes it easier to make timely decisions and supports more efficient planning.
