Will Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 That's brilliant. I imagine anybody could set up a similar site for another area, you just need an AIS (automatic identification system) receiver sited in VHF range of the ships' AIS units. So ideally you should live within a few miles of a busy port.Edit - further to the above, Lloyd's Maritime Intelligence Unit offers similar AIS information for just about any port in the world (or at least all of those where there is an agent). It's a subscription service, but you can get a two week trial at http://www.lloydsmiu.com/lmiu/freetrial.htm. Also, if you go to the home page of the site mentioned above, you can register to get increased coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Sam Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 There is a site where you can view Dover Straits traffic. If you register on www.AISLive.com, there is a 'Public' subscription page which will allow you to view traffic UK & worldwide. The free site is subject to a time delay in its reporting but you could always pay to receive the current movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
