From Seafront Simulations:

"After months of development, we’re ready to reveal a re-engineered and refreshed Global Shipping experience for MSFS2024... 
Tens of thousands of ships. Over 15,000 you can land on. Global coverage.

Global Shipping 24 isn’t just the original brought forward — the system has been rebuilt from the ground up using our latest tools, designed to run smoothly in the new simulator while keeping everything you loved from the previous version. We’ve expanded the traffic network, upgraded performance, enhanced select areas, and introduced landable moving ships across the globe.
And in 48 hours*, you’ll be able to experience the results.

Highlights:
More ships than ever — tens of thousands of ships with expanded coverage across oceans, coastlines and major trade lanes
Landable vessels — over 15,000 moving landing spots (with and without helipads) at launch
Low performance impact — fast load times and stability even with ocean-wide coverage and in busy areas
Expanded ship library — more models and variants than ever, with more coming in updates
Offline traffic — consistent, reliable, and independent of live feeds, data quality or model-matching challenges

Launching at just £15 (~19.99USD), with a £5 (~7USD) loyalty discount for owners of the original MSFS2020 version, redeemable via your original store— our way of saying thanks for supporting the first release .

Plus, for the first time, explore our Interactive Global Map (available now!) to see exactly how massive this scenery is and preview ship start positions, types, coordinates, and ships to land on before you grab your copy (and after to help plan your flights)."

Good news.  Is there a date for the MP?

I may keep this in mind as I like seeing ships & sea traffic, but I much prefer Live data where possible which makes GAIST my #1 choice. But it's good to have something else as an option.

Ehm, ok. So instead of buying separate packages for 10£ each, I get a global variant for 20£ now? What is the difference to e.g. "Vessels: The Balearic Islands"? 

Isn't this like GAIST (free)?

It looks like, but with GAIST in MSFS2024, I never got entirely happy. Reason: on my rig it somehow only really works when using the "live" option. Using the .bgl based traffic (e.g. "offline"), the amount of ship traffic is in many areas so low, you can hardly see the ships. And using "live" is sadly still heavily affected by MSFS bugs placing ships completely wrong resulting in an utterly nonsense ship traffic, e.g. 50m yachts on the lakes of Switzerland. 

So I would be definitively interested in this one here, if the comparison to GAIST reveals that you get more traffic using the offline option. 

Every time I run GAIST in 2024 I get these yachts all over the Great Lakes. They’re like 150’ default FS yachets  and it’s really an immersion killer. 
 

I wonder if I’d have that issue with this addon as well ? 

This was a big success for me in FS20, I will definitely be getting this as this is my preferred option.

Reading through this, it appears that the Global option is not the individual packages wrapped up.  It says for instance local ferry systems, populated marinas and leisure traffic are part of their regional packs, so not a bargain buy, just an addition.

Baffled me too until I read the OP more carefully "And in 48 hours*, you’ll be able to experience the results."

I think they need to clear up confusion.. So I buy this and then ALSO the regional packs? What's the difference? This one only does large ships and nothing else? Or the ships never come close to shore?

This kind of pricing model always makes me walk away.. I understand that some people only fly in certain areas and so they can afford to buy addons for that area alone. But I like to go all over the world, so I prefer global addons, free or paid. No point buying a Baleric region and then never fly there. 

It looks interesting and is cheap-ish, so I'll wait for some reviews to see what it's really like. 

I like both and use both GAIST and Seafront (haven't tried them in 2024 yet).

I have both of them set to give a decent mix of boat and ship traffic without going overboard or impeding performance.

... I should also add that I haven't purchased any of the Seafront extra packages for enhancement of certain regions.  I suppose if I flew into those specific regions/scenes often I might consider adding them, but for now I have their general package.

Looks like cruise ships and ferry lines might not be included in this package, and would be a serious omission if one is looking for a global solution to a shipping addon.
