This one only seems to show cargo ships vs those other two being able to show any ship with AIS including pleasure crafts and fishing fleets.
Yes, and also that flexport site doesn't seem to show inland vessels, only seagoing ones, so it's considerably less interesting at least to me who lives right next to a major navigable river, but far away from any sea.
