Seems like it's just cargo ships? And presumably not even all of them.I'll prefer vesselfinder for marinetraffic.

What is different from marinetraffic?

 Marinetraffic is a good example of enshittification. Started well, now it's heavy and ad-laden, practically useless without a paid account.

 Sounds like Flightradar24

 In case anyone isn't aware:<a href="https://globe.adsbexchange.com" rel="nofollow">https://globe.adsbexchange.com</a>– is an alternative to FlightRadar24 with more data.

 At least for FR24 you get a "Gold" account (no longer business) simply for running a feed.

 Nitpick: It's called Contributor and supposedly has the same features of the previous subscription. It still feels like a setup for future degradation by some marketing genius.

 I find Marinetraffic is fine without an account.Here is a link to oil tankers anchored around the Strait of Hormuz. It has much better filters:<a href="https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:56.8/centery:25.8/zoom:8" rel="nofollow">https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:56.8/cente...</a>

 And what’s the similarity to flight radar?

 A real time visualization using AIS instead of ADS-B feeds, presumably

 as opposed to the dozens of other flight tracker sites?

Seems to only have a tiny amount of ships compared to marinetraffic.com ?

  Seems regionally biased. This map makes it look like the Americas barely see any ship traffic, while the South China Sea is paved with ships from shore to shore.
