AIS Shipping InformationThis link takes you to a live web site that updates ship movement data using AIS. Every vessel over 300 tons transmits this data, whether at anchor or under way. If you take your laptop with you fishing, and you have a comms card that allows you to connect to the Internet, this could be nearly as good as radar! If you move your curser over the ship image, an information panel pops up with the vessel name, speed, direction, destination etc. This link goes directly to the optional Google Maps overlay for more detail allowing you to zoom and pan. Try it for fun anyway... AIS Shipping Data, Isle of Wight Area Free Local Charts On-Line!The QHM Portsmouth site has all of the local Admiralty Charts viewable on-line.
