Where you go on rynda.io depends on the task: watch vessels, find cargo or tonnage, or vet a specific vessel.
Start from the home page
The home page has a vessel search box: start typing an IMO or a name and suggestions appear under the field, with the flag, the type and a LIVE mark on vessels with a current position. Picking a vessel with a position opens it on the map; without one, it opens the vessel page. Below the search there is a role switch (charterer, shipowner, broker, seafarer): it suggests the first step and links to the right section without navigating on its own.
Watching vessels
Build My Fleet and set alerts — port arrival, speed change and other events.
Finding cargo or tonnage
Open the marketplace or turn on the "Cargoes" layer on the map. Found a fit — "Contact".
Vetting a vessel
Find a ship by name or IMO and open its page — particulars, ownership, class, inspections, sanctions matches.
Just exploring the market
Open the Ports Map — live vessels, ports, open tonnage and cargo on one map.
Most of it works without an account; you need one to message the author and run a fleet.
