marine traffic
Boats at sea
Marine traffic is the movement of vessels on waterways—ships, boats, and other craft navigating oceans, seas, rivers, and harbors.
The term appears in contexts of port management, navigation safety, and environmental monitoring: The harbor master tracked marine traffic on radar.
Marine traffic services coordinate vessel movements to prevent collisions and manage congestion.
