Live by the sea and want information on the boats going by?
Or maybe you are just interested in shipping, ports and vessels around the world?
Many maritime professionals also use Ship Finder too.
Ship Finder is a great app that provides real time information on ships across the globe. It’s easy to use and is fully integrated into Google Maps. It’s easy to switch between map views and details and even pulls in photos of most ships.
Ship Finder is also great for the serious vessel tracking enthusiast using real time feeds and plots from popular ports and seaways around the world.
