Questions
Is the widget free?
Yes. The map, the live positions and the embed code are free, for up to 50 ships per map. You don't need a Shyppy account.
Where do the positions come from?
From AIS, the radio signal every large ship broadcasts. Shyppy collects it from a network of shore stations, so coverage is strongest near coasts and busy shipping lanes, and a ship far out at sea may show its last position near land.
How often does the map update?
Positions refresh every 5 minutes while the page is open. Ships seen in the last 6 hours are shown in colour; older positions in grey.
Will it slow down my website?
No. The map loads in a frame only when a visitor scrolls to it, and it doesn't add cookies or tracking to your site.
How do I find a ship's IMO number?
Search the ship's name in the Shyppy vessel database. The IMO is the 7-digit number on its page. You can also use the 9-digit MMSI.
Want alerts too?
With a Shyppy account you also get storm warnings, sanctions checks, port call history and certificates for every ship in your fleet.
