    Seems like it's just cargo ships? And presumably not even all of them.

    I'll prefer vesselfinder for marinetraffic.

    What is different from marinetraffic?

      Marinetraffic is a good example of enshittification. Started well, now it's heavy and ad-laden, practically useless without a paid account.

          In case anyone isn't aware:

          https://globe.adsbexchange.com

          – is an alternative to FlightRadar24 with more data.

          At least for FR24 you get a "Gold" account (no longer business) simply for running a feed.

            Nitpick: It's called Contributor and supposedly has the same features of the previous subscription. It still feels like a setup for future degradation by some marketing genius.

        I find Marinetraffic is fine without an account.

        Here is a link to oil tankers anchored around the Strait of Hormuz. It has much better filters:

      And what’s the similarity to flight radar?

        A real time visualization using AIS instead of ADS-B feeds, presumably

          as opposed to the dozens of other flight tracker sites?

    Seems to only have a tiny amount of ships compared to marinetraffic.com ?

      Seems regionally biased. This map makes it look like the Americas barely see any ship traffic, while the South China Sea is paved with ships from shore to shore.
