    MarineTraffic

    MarineTraffic tracks vessels, voyages, ports, routes, custom areas, alerts, historical tracks, and AIS data APIs. Investors can use ship movements and port calls as supply-chain, shipping, and commodity context. It is not securities data, a price feed, broker, or portfolio tool, and API access depends on entitlement.

Curation & Accuracy

This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).

Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
