Marine Traffic revamp

[Richard Paton]

Does anybody else think the New Marine traffic look is a step backwards? I think personally i preferred the older look with the sea light blue and the icons as they were....

[Niall Magner]

The new look is utter s**t and garbbage 

[Patrick Hill]

Yup - I scoured the site for any way to turn it back...

[John van Zijderveld]

Huge step back

[ALAN]

As the saying goes "If its not broke, don't fix it"

[lappino]

Well, their latest redesign will make my autistic desire to become their top photo uploader a tiny little bit more complicated...

Anyway, it's always weird to see something changed after you've been familiar with it for 13+ years.

Ridiculous!! I just looked at it...Somebody had to justify his/her existence. The ship symbols are so small and faint it is hard to see. Why @#$% with something that looked well?

The consensus of comments here isn't in favour.

I wander who the hack gave them feedback that led them to create crap like this.

Their reply to me included this:
While the new map layout was a business decision, it is crucial for us to be aware of what dedicated users such as yourself are thinking about this change.
That makes it sound like cost-cutting was the reason to change the maps.

I switched to veselfinder. Much better.

[Brett Moore]

Also switched to VesselFinder.
