No, the free tracking only uses land based GPS tracking, instead of global satellite tracking. That means you will only be able to follow the ship's progress while it is near a shoreline. It'll be out of range for the next 4-5 days, then be trackable again once it's near the US coastline.

It is possible to track ships out at sea with global GPS, but this requires a $5000 a year membership.
