Quick answers to what people ask before installing.
You can see if the vessel has slowed, diverted, or is waiting outside a congested port — the early signs of a delay, often before the carrier portal updates.
No. Ship Lens looks up the vessel directly from its name, so you don't need a carrier account or portal login.
It's live AIS data with a freshness badge on every fix. Near port positions update frequently; mid-ocean fixes can be a few hours old, which is normal for satellite AIS.
Yes — looking up vessels is free with no card required. There's an optional paid tier for heavy daily use.
