## What is Shipdeck?

Track any ship on Earth. Type a name, MMSI or IMO and Shipdeck finds her in a directory of over two million vessels, drops her on a live chart, and lets you ask Fathom, your AI first mate, where she is and where she is bound.

THE LIVE PICTURE
Search a port or place and watch its traffic move: cruise ships, containers, tankers, ferries and tugs, each type in its own colour. Tap any ship for speed, heading, draught, destination, arrival and marine weather, laid out like a chart room, not a spreadsheet.

MEET FATHOM
Ask in plain words. Where is Queen Mary 2? What is heading into Southampton tonight? Has she picked up speed? Fathom reads the live picture and answers straight, with tappable links that jump you aboard any ship or into any port he mentions.

YOUR FLEET, EVERYWHERE
Star the ships you care about and glance at them from Home Screen widgets. Live Activities count a voyage down to arrival right on your Lock Screen.

PORTS, TIDES AND WEATHER
Over 20,000 ports with terminals, who is alongside and who is due in. Tide curves computed on your device, even offline. Wind, waves and sea state for every ship and harbour.

FREE TO START
Search ships and ports, browse the live map and follow two vessels free. Go Pro for the full live picture, 30 day tracks, a fleet of 50, widgets, Live Activities and tides. Go Captain and take Fathom to sea, 500 tokens a month included. Prefer no subscription? Token packs power Fathom and live lookups pay as you go.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-08-25*

Very informative and in depth knowledge about all the questions I asked. I will always use this app

**Developer response:** Thank you. Fathom was built to answer the questions you would actually ask on a bridge wing rather than a canned FAQ, so it is good to hear it stood up to yours. It keeps getting better as more is added. Glad to have you aboard.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-08-23*

Wow what an app!! It helps me with all my ship tracking needs. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

**Developer response:** Thank you, that means a lot. Tracking is the heart of Shipdeck, so knowing it covers what you need is the best feedback there is. More on the way.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2026-08-16*

Ship deck is intuitive, practical, and well organised. 
The app is a great companion for both learning and working at sea.
I highly recommend ship deck for anyone and everyone involved in maritime activities!

**Developer response:** Thank you. Intuitive, practical and well organised is exactly what was aimed for, and hearing it works for both learning and working at sea is the result I wanted most. Much appreciated.

### 5/5 — Fathom is awesome

*2026-08-16*

Such a good way to track ships and get information on them. Sometimes it doesn’t recognise a ship because several vessels share the same name, in those cases you need to give it the IMO number.

**Developer response:** Thanks, and you have put your finger on a real limitation. Ship names are not unique, so when several hulls share one, Fathom has no way to know which you mean. IMO or MMSI pins it every time, which is why that works. Better handling of duplicate names is on the list. If you hit a name that trips it up, send it to hello@themaritimemaster.com and it helps me fix it faster.
