On rynda.io you can find a vessel by name or IMO/MMSI, and a port by name or code. Search works both on the map and in the global search field.
How to find a vessel
- Open the Ports Map.
- Type a vessel name or its IMO/MMSI into search.
- Pick the vessel from the suggestions — the map flies to it and opens its card.
- The card shows position, speed, destination and recent port calls.
How to find another vessel from a vessel page
You can jump from one ship to the next without going back to the map: the page header carries a search field — Vessel name or IMO — to the right of the breadcrumbs.
- Type a vessel name or its IMO — suggestions appear from the second character.
- Move through them with ↑ ↓ and press Enter, or click a row. Enter without a selection opens the top suggestion.
- The chosen vessel's page opens. If that ship has no profile page yet, it opens on the map instead.
The vessel whose page you are reading is left out of its own suggestions. The Search the live map link under the list opens the map, where search also reaches ships that have no page yet.
How to find a port
- Click Find a port — on desktop it is the second icon (a pin) in the left tool rail, on a phone it sits under More.
- Type a port name or its code (e.g. UN/LOCODE) and pick the port from the suggestions. Tapping the port marker on the map works too.
- The port panel opens — traffic, draught limits, nearby vessels.
- Click Open full port page for who is in port and who is on approach, plus the call history.
Useful filters
- Vessel type — tankers, bulkers, container ships and more.
- Motion status — underway, anchored, moored.
- Sanctioned — keep only vessels matched against official sanctions sources on the map.
If a vessel isn't found
A ship may be outside AIS reception or temporarily without a signal — then its last known position is shown. This is normal on the open sea.
Tip: search by IMO — it's unique and never changes, unlike a vessel's name.
