I visited the headquarters of a well known towing company recently. In the main room was this huge electronic map, much like the 'big board' in the movie Dr. Strangelove. On it was the name, location, course, speed, last port of call, next port of call, ETA, and cargo of every towboat and barge they owned.

The 'Big Eye' sees everything these days.
