Track your ship on marinetraffic.com

It's already a well-known site for tracking ships, and I just wanted to share for those who 
 

don't know it yet...
 

just go to www.marinetraffic.com , and you can search for a ship where it is... or
 

you can see the ships in a selected area... with their AIS data, including Static, Dynamic & 

Voyage data...
 

But, it's not covered for the whole world yet since it's based on AIS data from the ships, so 

only the ships within the Green area of the world map in the first page can be seen...
 

anyway, it's still useful in finding the ships where they are...
 

When they are visible, you can do almost-real-time tracking...
 

enjoy... :)

world. So, we have to be in line with those newly developed techs and we should try using
