Ferry Tracker – Ships, Fleets, IMO Numbers & Ferry Booking

Ferries operate scheduled passenger, vehicle and freight services between ports around the world. Ship-Tracker.org connects ferry fleet information with individual vessel records so that users can move directly from an operator overview to available ship particulars and tracking information.

Where available, the IMO number is used as the primary permanent vessel identifier. MMSI and call sign information provide additional maritime identification and may be used by AIS and radio communication systems.

Public vessel tracking commonly relies on AIS data. Position availability depends on vessel transmissions, terrestrial or satellite reception and the tracking provider used for the individual ship page.

A displayed position may therefore represent the last publicly received vessel position rather than the ship’s exact current location.

Ferry companies often operate several vessels across different routes and regions. The Ship-Tracker.org ferry directory groups related ships together so that users can move from one vessel to other ships operated by the same ferry company.

This also makes it easier to compare vessel identifiers and discover additional ferry pages without returning to a general ship search.
