Checking Vessels from B/L's

Can anyone provide me with some websites we can refer to, to check vessel information. Information we require to find out is current voyage, flag, latest reports, type, etc.

Thanks

Most of the major shipping lines have their own web sites. Maersk, yang ming, and Zim are 3 I have looked at.
The problem arises when you find that the documents you have in front of you dont match the information on the web.
If you refer to my post of a couple of months ago you will see what I mean.

Dear Bruce,

Wondering why you would do that?

I am not aware of any sites collecting this information – so depending on the reason for this search I would:

1) Either consult at the shipping line in question. I.e. http://www.maersksealand.com/HomePage/appmanager/ where you can trace a schedule

or

2) Have the bill of lading question checked at International Maritime Bureau. http://www.icc-ccs.org/main/index.php

Best regards
Kim
