Way cool: As of December 2004 all vessels over 299GT are required to carry an AIS transponder which transmits telemetry on 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz. http://www.marinetraffic.com/ has volunteers setting up receivers so that they can give real-time updates of ship locations on a map.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
