What is AIS tracking?
AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a maritime tracking system where ships broadcast their position, speed, course, and identification data. Voyage Radar collects these AIS signals from a global network of receivers to provide real-time ship tracking. AIS is mandatory for vessels over 300 gross tonnage on international voyages.
Can I see vessel voyage history?
Yes, Voyage Radar offers voyage history playback. Click on any vessel to view its details page, then use the calendar icon to select a date range. You can replay the vessel's past movements and see where it traveled during that period.
What weather data is available for ships?
Voyage Radar provides comprehensive marine weather data at vessel locations including sea surface temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind speed at 10m/80m/100m heights, wind direction, wind gusts, significant wave height, wave period, wave direction, and wave power. This helps understand current vessel operating conditions.
How often does ship tracking data update?
Vessel positions update in real-time based on AIS transmission frequency. Ships typically transmit their position every 2-10 seconds when moving, and every 3-6 minutes when anchored. Voyage Radar displays these updates as they are received for accurate live tracking.
