This only covers container ships btw. For full coverage of all vessels, try the 'vessel presence' layer in Global Fishing Watch's interactive map, based on a feed from Spire: https://globalfishingwatch.org/map/

https://www.marinetraffic.com has most AIS transponders, I use it to track friends on commercial and private vessels.

https://aprs.fi also shows AIS (as well as ham radio operators which is its primary function)

https://aisvesseltracker.com/ is a good one too. Shows a LOT more, including cruise ships and pleasure craft.

It's also a bit limited. The gold standard is still kpler.

Thanks for the recommendation, looks interesting. I've used Vessel Finder due to something being a nuisance with Marine Traffic.

Laughed at the default text value. What track's that from?

A similar but much more up-to-date and interactive version of this can be accessed via the Global Fishing Watch map: https://globalfishingwatch.org/map

Turn on the `Vessel presence` layer, which displays a vector-tiled view of all vessels up to a few days ago, not just fishing boats.

And something from my own blog which may be of interest: https://blog.datadesk.eco/p/sky-lapse-in-two-tone

I'm English (RP) and it gave me a Yorkshire accent and Scottish accent in turn.
