One of the coolest sites on the navy is no doubt this . provides free real-time information on the movements of ships and ports, with particular reference to areas of Europe and North America. The project is currently hosted by the Department of Product and Systems Design Enginnering, University of the Aegean, Greece.
The data are based sull'Automatic Identification System (AIS).
Since December 2004, in fact, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires all boats and ships over 299GT to install AIS transponders on board that transmits location, speed and course, as well as identifying information such as vessel name, size and details of the voyage.
The site is also based on the maps of GoogleMaps (TM).
