MarineTraffic - Ship Tracking marine radar app

MarineTraffic is a widely recognized global maritime tracking and marine radar service available via mobile applications and web platforms. Founded in 2007 by Dimitris Lekkas in Greece, it began as an academic open-data project based on Automatic Identification System (AIS) technology. It quickly grew into one of the world's leading vessel tracking networks, relied upon by maritime professionals, logistics coordinators, port authorities, and maritime enthusiasts alike.

In early 2023, MarineTraffic, along with its sister brand FleetMon, was acquired by the global intelligence and commodities data giant Kpler. Following the acquisition, MarineTraffic operates as part of Kpler's maritime division, bringing together comprehensive real-time satellite and terrestrial AIS data, market analytics, and shipping intelligence.

As a digital software application and data service, MarineTraffic is developed, maintained, and cloud-hosted across multiple countries, notably Greece, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
