Yeah... all those hundreds of thousands of vessels out there and
nobody knows where they are. Let's face it Rick... according to you..
they can't be contacted! I guess Fleet Tracking is just a wet dream!



Lets be a little more realistic here. I am sure that for each
commercial vessel and many private vessels that there exists at least on
person with their feet on terra firma with a reasonable notion as to
said vessel's wherabouts at any given time. I am equally sure that there
does not exist a single person or entity with information of all vessels
whereabouts at the same time.

How many vessels are at sea at any given time, how many shipping
companies, how many independant operators, how many ports..... and how
do you collect the required information from all of them and collate it?
