What's New in MarineTraffic

5.8.0

August 3, 2026

New features: - Route Forecast (Mobile Pro) : See where a vessel is heading and what weather it will meet on the way. Scrub the timeline to follow the route point by point with wind each step. - Prediction vectors (Mobile Pro) : Now cover the next 30 minutes for every vessel. - When zooming, a new scale bar shows distances in both nautical miles and kilometres. - Vessel length and width are now visible without a subscription. - A Voyage Planner user guide is now available at the top of the page. - Port call lists now show country flags. Fixes: - Fixed an issue where, sometimes, a vessel's position could be out of date after the map refreshed. - Fixed an issue where vessels that don't report their size could be drawn at the wrong scale on the map. - Small UI improvements in My Fleets and Voyage Planner. - On Android, fixed an issue where some external web links could fail to open.

Worse and worse

Used to be a great app but with every update more features disappear behind the premium tier. Now looking for an alternative app. Update: now using vessel finder which has everything I want from this app. Time to delete Marine Traffic.

Rubbish update

There was so much more vessel information on the previous version

A shadow of its former self

What was once an app is now next to useless , I even tried pay for the pro version but still useless , extremely disappointed , hope that someone does another app that emulates the origional marine traffic and I’ll gladly pay
excellent

Not a good update

Was fine, now sucks. I’m not going to get into why this update is junk.

The update is HORRID

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Please! The “new” maps are horrid. The international lines are so thick that entire ship icons are hidden behind them unless you zoom in as far as it goes and sometimes they are still barely visible. This line is three times as thick as the letters of the ship names in a hard to read font color. The waterway shorelines look like a child erased a real map and filled in with crayons, markers, and finger paints the colors, textures and lines are so inconsistent. We don’t need Google Maps here, just land with city and town markers and coastal landmarks. I almost cry every time I open this new version (the major changes one before this update). Visuals are NOT better. Also, the 24 hour “past track” used to allow you to click a point on that path to see what time they were at any point on their past track (what time did American Soirit sail under the Blue Water bridges?” so you could use this time stamp to rewind a ship camera feed (such as the streamtime live cams) on YouTube to see them sail through areas where this is recorded. The path line now is useless. We can see where they started and where they’re going with text data. A scribbled line means nothing really.

The map choice that is solid gray and white is blinding and useless. In my opinion, the new version is so far inferior to the previous version it can’t be recorded. I’m not kidding. I’m in the Great Lakes region with the lakes and adjoining rivers where knowing what ships and where (and when) they’ll be here is so important to get out there to see them. I have screenshots of everything I’ve detailed if the developers are interested enough to see the before and after. This is the ONLY app I’ve ever paid for and I honestly think I’m ready to jump ship and look for other apps. Believe it or not, I’m not a complainer and I usually don’t leave reviews, good or bad, but I can’t not say what I said a moment longer. Don’t mess with my ships!!! Thank you for hearing this feedback. Please revert!! The old version was amazing.
