Very addictive indeed. The tug Battler has left port and heading my way, should be in sight in a few minutes.

But they do on Storebælt!

Gosh that thing is addictive.

Extra addictive. Interesting to see how the cross Channel ferries dodge the other shipping.

That's because your yacht won't be required to carry an AIS transponder because it will be smaller than 299 gross tonnage.

I used the site to watch the ships carrying a container of all my worldly goods around the world earlier in the year. There was loads of information showing the ship visiting different ports within Europe but after the ship reached Port Said there was silence until it arrived in Singapore.

IIRC the service is provided by volunteers with radios to pick up the ship signals and internet connections to transmit the data back. I was a bit surprised that there were no volunteers within the UAE but maybe that data is not intended to be available to the general public.

Good for tracking an oil rig that's off to the Falklands to search for oil. Ramp, ramp, ramp...
