Ok moderator, this subject is not really linked to SH3 but it can interest everybody who love the sea. And perhaps, who knows, it gives some ideas to the SH3 designer....

This website is perfect: it gives the harbour trafic in real time.
You can watch every ships in the channel or in the harbour.
By clicking on the ship icon you get some characteristic and sometimes a picture of the ship.
Red are tankers, green are Cargo/Containers, blue are Ro/Ro passenger, etc.
By selecting schip listing, you can access to her real actual position, destination, speed, etc.
Fantastic.

There is:

Actually, I follow since yesterday a big transcontainer named "Antwerpen Express". She is now at Southampton since 12 hours. You can see her: http://www.aisliverpool.co.uk/showsh...mmsi=211311970

By a simple google search you can watch the ship: http://www.histarmar.com.ar/MarinaMe...%20express.jpg
And when she goes away you can follow her everywhere in the world(if you have the software installed).

Actually this website is only around Southampton/Liverpool and Irish sea. But elsewhere, you can watch many other live harbour trafic.
An example with Antwerpen Nord:

The listing of the harbours: http://www.shipspotters.nl/TTTtimes.html

You can download the software here: http://www.coaa.co.uk/shipplotter.htm

Note that it's also possible to listen the radio comm between ship and controll !
Watch in the software tutorial and also here: http://teessidelistening.com/northeast.htm
That's all.
Hope you are enjoyed.
A same system in SH3 will be fantastic for the multiplayer game.
