The rynda.io Ports Map is a live map of vessels and ports with a cargo marketplace laid over it. It shows not only where ships are right now and what they're doing, but which cargo and open tonnage are nearby — with a one-click path into a deal. That's what sets rynda's map apart from a plain tracker.
What you see on the map
- Live vessels with filters by type and motion status.
- Ports — a directory with anchorages and call statistics.
- Layers — recent trails, planned routes, ECA/SECA zones.
- Open tonnage (For Orders) — vessels looking for cargo.
- Cargo nearby — compatible cargo from the marketplace.
How to use the map
- Find a vessel or port via search.
- Click a vessel — a card opens with its position and details.
- Turn on the filters you need: vessel type, status, sanctions.
- Add layers: trails, ECA zones, the port directory.
- Build a route in the planner, or use Replay to rewind positions.
Map tools
- Route planner — with the option to exclude straits and canals.
- Replay (time-travel) — play back positions over a past period.
- Custom areas — zones with enter/leave alerts.
Why does the map say "Live updates paused"?
The map refreshes vessel positions every 25–30 seconds while you are working with it. If the tab stays hidden for over a minute or you leave the map untouched for 15 minutes, refreshing stops — positions freeze on the last data and a "Live updates paused" notice appears at the top. Any action — moving the mouse, touching the screen, returning to the tab, or the "Resume" button — restarts updates immediately and pulls fresh positions.
Why did one vessel stop updating?
That is the daily measure on live watching. Without an account you can follow one vessel for 30 minutes; after that its card reads "Updates for this vessel are paused" and its position freezes — that vessel only. The map, search, ports, distance measuring and every other vessel keep working.
A free account lifts the limit. It also solves the underlying problem: instead of keeping a tab open, add the vessel to My Fleet and get a port-arrival alert by email or Telegram — no need to watch the map at all.
With an account the measure is still counted per vessel. When a vessel’s time is up, only that vessel refreshes less often — the rest of the map works as before.
The map is the core of rynda: the starting point for finding both a vessel and a cargo.
