Ive seen something similar last year in my hometown port administration building, though it was much more sophisticated (spl?) this is quite cool !!! I never suspected things like that could be left to the public.

[DaveU186]

That's very very cool. Just look at the channel. :o

Tried tracking my lads vessel Zim Shenzhen, sailed from Tarragona (Italy) on 4th heading across the Atlantic to Halifax (Nova Scotia)....a definite convoy route.

Any sightings, please report.

Nice piece of kit.....beats schedule printouts anyday. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

It comes with post #179. It goes away again with post #180.

Could you imagine the excitement of knowing not only the size of the tanker (100,000+ tonnes), but also the location, speed and final destination of these ships ahead of time.

Almost like time cheating isnt it :rotfl:

jimbuna, Zim Shenzhen went through Gibraltar yesterday so, we won't see it again till it reaches Halifax. Do you know when it is scheduled to arrive there?

Did you see her on the map or is there a way of tracing the buggas ?

Pray tell :up:

She is due at Halifax on 11th July at 05:00

I couldn't find the first one that had all the position reports up to her leaving the Gibralter area but, I found this.

This info is very much appreciated, what programme and how do you go about tracking the bugga?....Mrs. Buna (Ann) will now have me on a high alert status nearer the expected arrival at Halifax date :DL

[bert8for3]

Very interesting, thanks for posting both links. I wasn't aware that there was publicly-available live tracking.

Edit: Or, as I just discovered, click Itineraries History above, it takes you right there.
