Title: Watching the Shipping Traffic
Post by: tony52 on May 18, 2011, 06:19:35 pm

Came across this excellent site, reviewed in Airwaves column MMI May 2011. Watch all the shippng traffic in the area of your choice.

www.marinetraffic.com

Just one problem - on this site, you can spend hours of time which should be spent on more useful things.

Iv'e been using marinetraffic.com for quite a while, even got the App on my phone but it is lethal. I can lose hours on it. If you like planes have a look at www.flightradar24.com. Just be careful you don't get addicted.
