About Singapore Harbour Live
NAVIG Sea's Singapore Harbour Live map plots every commercially tracked vessel currently transiting the Singapore Strait, Port of Singapore anchorages, and the approaches around Batam and Bintan. Position, heading, and speed refresh every three minutes, sourced from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore's OCEANS-X vessel-tracking platform.
Alongside the live map, NAVIG Sea shows today's arrivals and departures board, a traffic density layer highlighting the busiest shipping lanes, and a short-range weather and rainfall risk strip for the harbour. Search any vessel by name, IMO number, or callsign to see its live position, course, recent Singapore movements, and arrival declaration.
Frequently asked questions
- Where can I track ships live near Singapore?
- NAVIG Sea at navig.me/singapore-vessel-map 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?
