Where’s The Beast

I’d normally think that tracking cargo ships at sea was pretty geeky. But when your home for the next 18 months is on board it seems to become much more interesting. I discovered that there are websites that track ship movements in real time.

The website – Marine Traffic provides a pretty much real time traffic of all Marine Vessels around the world.

The Beast left Southampton yesterday and here are some screenshots showing that it has just cleared Penzance and it is on its way across the Atlantic with an arrival in Halifax in a total sailing time of 9 days.

IIt goes to show how much boat traffic there is around the UK !
