Maritime traffic data as bulk download or API

Question

I am looking for a dataset of global maritime traffic which would include basic metadata such as port of departure/arrival, date, vessel name.

I am familiar with proprietary online services, such as marinetraffic, but would be interested in a free API/bulk download option.

I am not sure that this is really a duplicate because the other question focusses on ships but not on their movements. So I vote to leave it open as a separate question. — , May 20 '16 at 09:45
