Live Tanker Map — UK & North Sea

Vessels self-reporting as tanker types (80–89): crude oil tankers, product tankers, chemical tankers, and gas carriers. Type confirmation arrives via static data messages — unconfirmed vessels appear briefly then are filtered.

Includes inland waterway tankers on rivers such as the Rhine, Thames, and Humber — these may appear to be on land at low zoom levels. Zoom in to see river routing detail.

AIS is self-reported and can be switched off. Coverage is strongest in coastal waters and vessel traffic lanes; mid-ocean coverage depends on satellite AIS.

This tracker shows positional data only — cargo type, origin, and destination are not available from AIS.
