Shipping

If like me, you can happily wile away hours doing nothing but stare at a computer screen, why not try this website: ShipAIS

It's basically showing live locations of ships all over the UK, from Dover - Calais ferries to oil tankers. It even tells you where they are going and whether lighthouses are manned or not. Just click on a square for more details. Amazing amount of shipping around our island.

It's vaguely fascinating, I can't stop looking at it.

How do you find these web sites? I used to be strangely drawn to 'One man and his Dog' but I see a contender!

I use the AIS website, it shows the whole world ! And you can find specific ships as well, I will check out your link when I get home.

Ohhhh I like that, not a geeky way, I can now keep an update when all of our vessels are going to arrive!

Neil. You do set yourself up at times.... [;)]

Now I'm getting cross, there are a couple of ships off the Sussex coast that won't tell me where they are going[V]
