ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

MarineTraffic

Marinetraffic is like a big map where people can see where ships are going in real life. Think about a big map of the world where you can see boats moving around. You know when you play with toy boats in the bathtub, and you move them around with your hands and the water makes little waves? It's kind of like that, but with real boats in the ocean.

Marinetraffic is super helpful because it lets people know where boats are and where they're going. This can help people figure out how long it will take for a boat to get to a certain place, or where a boat is if it gets lost or has an accident. It can also help people figure out where there might be a lot of boats, like in busy ports, and help them stay out of the way.

To use marinetraffic, people use a computer or a phone to go to the website or use the app. Then they can zoom in on a certain area and see all the boats there. They can click on a boat to see what kind of boat it is, where it's from, and where it's going. It's like looking at a big toy boat map, but it's really real life!
