Enter a ship's name, or a fragment of the name. There's no need for any wild card characters. This database contains only a small fraction of the ships worldwide, those that participate in the World Meteorological Organization's program of voluntary at-sea weather reporting. The database also contains vessels with US radio licenses. For the most part military vessels are excluded, but occasionally a Coast Guard ship will make a report.

The US Coast Guard maintains another database of ship names, callsigns, and inspection reports. The French Marine Meteorological Center maintains a database of VOS reporting vessels. If you can't find a ship's callsign in our database, try one of theirs.

If a ship is listed but has no last reported time or position, it means that the ship has no weather reports or AIS reports in our database.

Try searching for LYKES or MSC or MAERSK to get started.
