E-Mail & SMS Alerts You draw a zone on the map and once the specified ship enters that zone you'll be alerted via e-mail or SMS on your cell phone.
	Information About Ships Selecting a ship on the map will show you the live data the ship transmits about itself such as its Size, Type, Speed, Destination and many more. If available, you'll also see a photo of that vessel.
Advanced Information In addition to the live data we also provide further information about the selected ship. See when the ship was built, who operates it and much more.
	My Ships You can mark your vessels to find them faster. Additionally they will be highlighted on your map.
Port Statistics With ShippingExplorer you can see detailed statistics of a port. When is the best time and best day to arrive in Hamburg? or What kind of ships are there most?
	Port Traffic You can see which ships came in and went out on a specific day.
Speed Graph When viewing the Track of a ship you can also see when a ship slowed down or stopped with the handy Speed Graph.

Track- and Port-History of a Ship We record every step a ship makes so that you can later see when and where a ship was.
	Route Calculator You can easily plan your vessel's route by drawing its path on the map. ShippingExplorer will show you when your ship will arrive at route points and how much fuel will approximately be consumed.
Sea Weather See the current weather conditions of all major seas in ShippingExplorer. A map overlay with wind or waves can be displayed.
	Port Weather Current and upcoming weather conditions (including temperature, wind, pressure, ...) are available for almost all of our covered ports.
Measure Tool With the ruler you can quickly measure a distance between two points or see how many ships are in a specific radius around you.

Navigation Aids ShippingExplorer can display Dock Numbers, Routes, Buoys and Parking Spaces for available areas.
	Dozens of Filters Filters help you see only vessels of a special kind. Many more dynamic filters were included such as the "Destinations"-filter ("Which vessels are going to Hamburg?"). These and many more filters can be found right next to the map.
Direction Vectors and Coordinate Grid You can optionally view the map with the ship's names and Direction Vector (to see where they're headed) displayed on them. Additionally you can enable a coordinate grid on the map.
	Different Maps and Satellite Images With ShippingExplorer you have many map services to choose from. You can use Google, Microsoft, Yahoo or our native map. Some services also provide satellite images.
Fast Port Navigation ShippingExplorer includes a list of all covered ports so you can quickly jump between them without having to look for them on the map.	My Places Just like directly jumping to ports via the list you can also add your own favorite places on the map. One click takes you directly to that place on the map.
