Ship Doc

Ever wondered what ships are sailing past your coastline right now, or how to track a specific vessel across the globe in real time?

Ship Doc transforms your device into a powerful maritime terminal, granting you direct access to the live movements and detailed specifications of the world's commercial and recreational fleets. This application leverages the global AIS (Automatic Identification System) network, the same technology used by vessels and port authorities for navigation and safety. By tapping into this data stream, Ship Doc delivers a professional-grade tracking experience, placing a comprehensive overview of global maritime traffic directly in your hands. Whether you're a maritime enthusiast, a professional in the industry, or simply curious about the ships around you, this app turns the world's oceans into a transparent and interactive map.

The core functionality revolves around a dynamic global map that you can seamlessly zoom and pan to inspect any region. View all AIS-equipped vessels as icons, with their courses and speeds visualized. For targeted searches, utilize multiple identification parameters: search directly by vessel name, its unique MMSI number, or its official IMO number for instant, precise location. Beyond simple tracking, selecting any vessel reveals a rich data profile. This includes real-time status (moored, anchored, or underway), current speed and heading, exact dimensions like length and beam, flag state, call sign, destination, and estimated time of arrival.
