Interesting site for those that like being on the lumpy stuff or ships

AIS Live Ship Tracking, its bit like radar.

Good fun if you can see a ship and want to know its name, destination etc…

I follow a related site that covers where I live. I can follow ships up to Manchester, then go and have a look.

I have just finished a 4000 mile sea trip on my boat in the US and we installed AIS before we left, it has been the most amazing thing to have onboard. In the dark especially in heavy shipping lanes it has been essential. Technology, love it.

I'm fitting an AIS transceiver in the lifeboat, eventually.

 

They're pretty affordable now and it's nice to know the big boys can see you.

There is considerable concern that Pirates may be using this technology to stalk their victims.

Yeah that's a nightmare, of the Essex coast.

 

Seriously, though, I think I'd be switching my unit off, in known danger zones.
