MarineTraffic is a ship-tracking and maritime information service that was founded by Dimitris Lekkas in 2007. It is widely recognised as the world’s most comprehensive maritime database and the service is able to boast more than six million unique monthly users , as well as more than one million registered account holders. Essentially, the service was set up by Lekkas because he had an existing interest in computers and ship spotting and had become interested in the practical uses of AIS vessel tracking technology. Little did he know, he was about to create one of the most important transport databases in the world . The MarineTraffic service is available to use for free , although a paid version also exists, adding more advanced features. MarineTraffic makes use of AIS vessel tracking technology to record 800 million vessel locations each month, while its database also includes information on ships, such as when and where they were built.

How Does MarineTraffic Work?

The MarineTraffic service makes use of AIS tracking technology to provide information about the identification, course, speed and current location of vessels. From there, locations can be overlaid onto Google Maps , and, as a result, users can use the service to track the movements of ships and other vessels in real-time.

Additionally, some information surrounding ship locations is self-reported by those aboard. This information is then used to provide a more accurate and up-to-date live map of vessel locations.

Aside from tracking vessel positions, MarineTraffic also provides background information on vessels, such as where they were built, when they were built, their IMO (International Maritime Organisation) number, how much they weigh and even photographs of them. Much of this information is submitted voluntarily by the community members.

What is AIS Technology?

AIS stands for ‘ automatic identification system ‘ and refers to a tracking system that is used on ships and VesselFinder . Since 2004, it has been compulsory for all passenger ships of any size, and all international voyaging ships with a gross tonnage of 300 or more, to be fitted with an AIS transponder, which is able to transmit and receive AIS data.

The AIS transponder transmits GPS information , as well as a host of additional data, which is then received by AIS receiving stations. The MarineTraffic service makes use of more than 3,000 of these stations , positioned all around the world, allowing the service to track positions, identify vessels, plot courses and even monitor speed.

In many ways, the MarineTraffic AIS technology can be considered similar to the flight radar technology used by services like Flightradar24 , in order to track aircraft. In that particular case, the AIS technology is replaced by ADS-B technology, which works in a similar way and is again assisted by volunteers, with information being picked up by ADS-B receivers or receiving stations instead of AIS receivers.

Other information on the site

While the information on the site largely revolves around picking up these AIS signals for tracking purposes, background information about the vessels, photographs of ships and an abundance of other information is also added and moderated by volunteers, who make up the core of the MarineTraffic community.

Meanwhile, in addition to the automatic location tracking that is provided through the use of AIS technology, vessel positions are also often self-reported to MarineTraffic. This can help to make tracking even more accurate and is stored as historical data within the database . It can subsequently be referred to for statistical analysis, emergency response purposes, accident investigation, and even to assess the effects of weather on speed.

Who Uses MarineTraffic?

An online ship tracking service may seem like the sort of platform that would only appeal to the most dedicated ship spotters , and it may not surprise you to learn that the site’s founder, Dimitris Lekkas, places himself within this category. However, in reality, the service has a much wider audience than that.

In fact, in the years since its initial launch, MarineTraffic has grown into an important tool for both business and research purposes , while the platform is also used by governments, trade organisations and emergency services. Of course, it remains a valuable tool for maritime professionals and hobbyists as well .

The core user group includes maritime professionals, ship spotters and other hobbyists . Many of those within this group subscribe to the paid version of the service and dedicate their free time to voluntarily help the community, upload photographs and moderate content uploaded to the site.

Business and Trade

Another key use for the MarineTraffic service is related to business and trade. Its primary use here is to track the progress of cargo being shipped overseas. Furthermore, the website includes its own business directory, helping to put buyers and suppliers in contact with one another.

MarineTraffic also enjoys popularity with maritime researchers and those interested in AIS technology. Indeed, the service has set up the MarineTraffic Research Network, which is designed to assist academic institutions, research foundations and individual maritime researchers . Interested parties can even apply for special academic accounts.

Security and Emergency Services

One of the more surprising ways in which MarineTraffic is used is as a tool to assist emergency services with situational awareness and accident investigation . Moreover, the platform has also been used by some national governments for security purposes because it allows them to monitor activity in and around their coastal areas.

Other Users

Aside from the groups mentioned, MarineTraffic has also grown into an important resource for journalists and media organisations , who have used it to inform reports on ISIS and the migrant crisis. In addition, there are also casual users who may utilise MarineTraffic to track friends or family members aboard a ship or vessel.

How Do You Use MarineTraffic?

If all of this seems complicated and overly technical so far, the good news is that the actual MarineTraffic service itself is very easy to use , even for those with no technical knowledge of AIS technology whatsoever. Additionally, the core features can be accessed from a range of different platforms . The main website is, in itself, the service’s web platform and from there, users will be able to search for, identify and track vessels. However, in addition to this, two separate web apps exist. The first of these integrates with the services seen on the web platform, while the other is designed for boaters and hobbyists.

Web Platform

The main MarineTraffic web platform features a Live Map showing the positions of vessels. Users can click and drag the map to move around the globe, highlight vessels on the map to find out more information, or use the ‘+’ an ‘-‘ symbols to zoom in or out, while the left-hand side of the screen has a range of more advanced options.

At the top, the magnifying glass symbol opens up the search function, allowing users to search for either a vessel or sea port , or search for a specific map location. Meanwhile, the filter symbol allows users to filter the vessels displayed on the map based on ship type, capacity, current status and more.

Finally, the symbol showing three boats is the ‘My Fleets’ option. By accessing this menu, users have the option to create a fleet and add ships to it, making it easier to track multiple vessels at the same time.

A basic MarineTraffic account is free and can be used for an indefinite period. However, MarineTraffic is categorised as a ‘freemium’ service because a paid premium account opens up a range of extra features. Among these are the ability to create larger fleets, use custom fleet icons, access wind forecasts and view a 30-day voyage history.

Mobile Apps

Aside from the main web platform, the MarineTraffic service also has two separate mobile apps , which are available for Android and iOS devices. The first of these, MarineTraffic Ship Positions is similar to the web platform, but is more mobile-friendly than using the website on a mobile browser.

All account holders can make use of the app, including those with a basic free account, those with a paid premium account, or those with a special research or academic account, but the app itself is not free, and a small fee is required to download it. The features available within the app will depend on the account type held by the user.

Further to the main MarineTraffic mobile app the platform also has a separate mobile app, known as MarineTraffic OnCourse . This app is intended for those interested in sailing or yachting or those who are in charge of larger vessels, and provides a more advanced range of features. For example, the app allows boaters to self-report their location from within the app and easily upload photos and other information about their vessel.

How To Control Your Boat In A Current

Advertisement

Instead of fighting the current, here are some tips for using it to your advantage.

Fig. 1: Backing into a slip with a cross-current. Note: Arrows show direction of current. (Illustations: Erich Stevens)

Whether you're docking your boat, in a crossing or passing situation, or you're at the boat ramp, if the waters you're in have a current, the job before you can seem challenging. Currents can knock you askew, hit the hull when you least expect it, and turn a maneuver par excellence into an unmitigated disaster. If, that is, you aren't aware of how to handle the current — or better yet, how to use it to your advantage.

Currents can have a wide range of effects on virtually any and every aspect of boat handling. And these affects can differ depending on your type of boat. A deep-keeled sailboat, for example, will experience very different current-induced influences compared to a flat-bottom jon boat. It's impossible to catalog each and every potential event, but we can at least take an in-depth look at some of the most common current events, how the average boater can handle them, and learn from the examples.

Important Note: No matter what situation you may be dealing with, there's one overriding fact you must always be aware of when you're in a current: You have more control heading into it than you do when it's pushing against your transom. Heading into the current, the water is flowing faster across your rudder or outdrive, so steering maneuvers have a greater effect. At the same time, having a current against the hull's forward motion acts as a brake to slow you down. It's not very different from why airplanes always land and take off going into the wind.

Docking Dilemmas

When you're trying to dock in a current, in all likelihood you'll either be entering a slip with a cross-current or pulling alongside a pier with the current running along it. These two situations require different approaches but a similar frame of mind. In both cases, planning ahead is key. Before even approaching the dock or slip, shift into neutral, allow your boat to drift in the current for a few moments, and try to get a feel for how it will affect the boat long before you actually approach the pilings and planks.

In the case of entering a slip with a cross-current, don't try to fight a battle against the moving water because you'll lose. Instead, line up the boat for entry well up-current from the slip (see Fig. 1), and allow the current to do the work of moving the boat sideways and in line with the opening while you regulate forward and aft movement. Remember that getting the transom between the pilings is what really counts; once the aft end of the boat is in the slip the current may still try to shove your bow out of kilter, but if need be you can allow the side of the boat to kiss the down-current piling and apply (gentle!) reverse power to port or starboard, as appropriate, to pivot against it and regain alignment.

Note that whenever you're approaching a slip subject to current, look at the pilings to make sure there aren't any lines drooping into the water. If mooring lines aren't hung up properly and are sitting in the water, current can stretch them across the slip where they can foul your prop(s).

Fig. 2: Docking on your beam. Note: Arrows show direction of current.

When approaching a dock on the beam, current can actually be a tremendous help. If, that is, you remember the earlier recommendation to operate your boat into it rather than with it. Simply pull parallel to the dock (see Fig. 2), and match the current's speed so you're making no headway. Then you can turn the wheel ever so slightly to port or starboard as appropriate, and glide in toward the dock. Recenter the wheel to stop your sideways travel and reapply it to slide in closer, and you can move your boat right up next to the pilings slowly and safely. As you do so, if need be, you can apply a bit more or less power to move up or slide back along the pier and place your boat in the perfect spot.

Crossing And Passing

In most cases, planing powerboats that are cruising won't feel too much effect from the current as they maneuver. In slow speed zones, however, all boaters need to take account of the current before they try crossing or passing another boat. Remember that if you're crossing in front of someone's bow while traveling with the current on your opposite beam, you'll be pushed back toward them, perhaps as fast as that current's running (see Fig. 3). Same goes if you're heading into the current and plan to make a 90-degree turn that could bring you into the path of another boat (see Fig. 4). Having a current on the beam can quickly shrink what seems like plenty of room.

Figs. 3 & 4: Never, EVER cross in front of someone's bow while traveling with the current on the opposite beam; you'll be pushed back toward the approaching boat, possibly as fast as that current's running. Go behind the other boat. Note: Arrows show direction of current

Also keep in mind that other boats may be affected differently than your own, and as a result, predicting their travel in a current can be difficult. A sailboat traveling with a current on the beam, for example, may move sideways much more significantly over a particular distance than your planing powerboat. And a boat with limited speed may seem to be moving into a current achingly slowly to you, even though it's running full-tilt. That may tempt you to pass it, but again, remember that if the boat you're passing makes a turn, distances that appear sufficient can melt away rapidly with a strong current. Just as you need to plan for extended braking distance when driving a car on a wet road, you need to extend safe distances both crossing and passing in a current.

Launching And Loading

When you're at the launch ramp, launching and loading a boat with a cross-current is similar to pulling into or out of a slip, except that in some cases it's even tougher because there aren't any pilings to pivot on. Launching usually doesn't present too much of an issue, just as long as you realize there's a current and you're prepared to counter-steer against it the moment the boat comes off the trailer. But loading is a different story. Even if you get the bow of the boat onto the trailer, the stern can still get knocked askew. If there's a dock you can back the trailer down next to or if the water's shallow and warm enough to wade in a bit and perform the loading procedure manually, this is commonly a smart move.

If you need to power onto a trailer, the most critical issue is making sure that you maintain control rather than ceding it to the current. That means the judicious use of power is necessary. Short bursts of throttle with the engine or drive already turned and in position, strong enough to overcome the effect of the current, have to be applied. Just as critical is recognizing when the jig is up — if the boat isn't on a trajectory you feel you can keep a handle on, abort the maneuver. Pull away from the trailer, circle around, and try again.

Once you successfully position yourself up-current, motor forward, and get the bow between the bunks, remember that while the bow will stop going sideways, that isn't necessarily true of the stern. Be prepared to cut the wheel hard-over, and/or give a (careful) bit of extra throttle to move the boat up onto the trailer most or all of the way.

Keeping all of these things in mind, will you still find maneuvering in a current challenging? Of course — and that's without even talking about the effect of a strong breeze. And while it's easy to talk about maneuvers, it's often much more difficult to do them. Learn to treat the current to your advantage, and you'll soon be backing into that slip, crossing that channel, and loading up that trailer with confidence.

Emerald Azzurra Itineraries

Emerald azzurra review, review of emerald azzurra.

The 2022-built Emerald Azzurra cruise ship is a superyacht with max passenger capacity 100. This is the first of two newbuilds in the Emerald Cruises fleet , as well as the company's first ocean-going vessel - followed by the sistership Sakara (2023). Azzurra is Vietnam-built (constructed by HLS-Halong Shipbuilding Company in Ha Long City ). HLS was contracted to build the hull and install all the machinery, while the yacht's interior fit-out was managed by a separate project team.

Azzurra is Emerald Cruises' 10th boat, having as fleetmates 9x riverboats and the sistership Sakara.

The vessel (IMO number 9903504) is currently Bahamas- flagged (MMSI 311001053) and registered in Nassau .

The superyacht Emerald Azzurra has max passenger capacity 100 (plus 76 crew/staff), sleek "megayacht" design (hull and superstructure), top-luxury accommodations with modern hotel amenities, premium restaurants, large wellness complex (gym, sauna, spa, massage rooms), two tender boats (used for passenger debarkation and embarkation in tender ports / without docking facilities), two Zodiacs (large-capacity, high-speed RIB boats used for coastal cruising and landings), aft Marina platform for watersports activities (swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking), large infinity pool (with a glass front facing the stern), dedicated pool deck (with stern location, oval-shaped pool, sunbathing area with padded loungers, open-air Bar).

Emerald Azzurra also carries its own electronic bikes (Gocycle brand) from the premium manufacturer Karbon Kinetics Ltd (2002-founded by Richard Thorpe/McLaren Cars design engineer).

Itineraries

While certified for unrestricted passenger shipping operations in all regions (except polar), the yacht Emerald Azzurra is custom-designed to navigate in warmer climates, like Southern Europe's Mediterranean (Adriatic Sea, Aegean Sea), Red Sea (Arabia) and Indian Ocean (Seychelles), offering a unique superyacht cruising experience. The boat's smaller size (and water draft) allows it to visit ports that larger ships can't access.

Emerald Cruises' yachts offer seasonally (in spring and fall) cheap Transatlantic crossings between the Caribbean and Europe (RepositionCruises.com).
