Live vessels and trade flows
Commercial ships broadcasting their own position, type, destination and ETA. Cargo is inferred from the ship type and is always labelled as such — Portpine never presents an inferred cargo as a confirmed manifest.

Industry
Product
Filters demand, lanes and buyer requests to that product, and narrows the map to the ships that carry it (inferred from ship type).
Loading live positions…
Positions come from free coastal AIS receivers (range ~40–60 nm), so ships far out at sea drop off until they near land again. Dashed green lines are the main ocean trade lanes — typical routes, not live ships.
