Frequently asked questions

Where can I track ships live near Singapore?

Sea Spot at navig.me/sea shows every vessel currently tracked in Singapore waters on a live map, updated every three minutes using MPA's OCEANS-X data.

How often does the Singapore vessel map update?

Vessel positions refresh every three minutes. The arrivals and departures board, weather forecast, and rainfall readings refresh independently, typically every five to ten minutes.

What do the colour, shape, direction, and trail of each vessel marker mean?

Marker colour and shape show the vessel type category: slate triangles for cargo, amber circles for tankers, dark squares for bulk and dry cargo, warm-grey diamonds for service craft, and light-grey dots for small craft. Selected and followed ships have an accent ring. At closer zoom, a heading notch and a fading trail show direction and speed. Low-zoom markers stay visible while labels and trails are reduced. Select a ship to see its latest recorded speed and full details.

Where does Sea Spot get its vessel data?

Sea Spot uses the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore's OCEANS-X platform, which provides live vessel positions, port-call declarations, port clearance records, and Singapore weather forecasts.

Can I see a specific ship's arrival history and movements in Singapore?

Yes. Search any vessel by name, IMO number, or callsign to see its live position, course, recent Singapore movements, and arrival declaration details.

Does Sea Spot show Singapore shipping lanes and port traffic?

Yes. The Traffic layer highlights the busiest shipping lanes and anchorages in the Singapore Strait based on live vessel density.
