You can also bump into small ships, like fishingboats with no lights
at night and no helmsman on the bridge, all crew working below and
letting the ship steer itself to the next waypoint.
For big ships (300 tonnes) AIS would do, costs you way less (300
euro's). But this doesn't mean you'll be 100 % safe...
Did I mention fishingboats?

Fair winds,
