Watching one ship is surprisingly fun

Marinetraffic.com has been one of my favourite sites for some time now, but without context it can be tough to get very absorbed in the movement of all the ships.

The solution: pick one, keep it in a tab somewhere, and then reload it once a day. Maybe do that with up to three or five. This ship is one I saw in the news carrying the first shipment of Canadian crude to Italy, and it was in Sardinia about two days ago. Two days ago upon reloading it it was on its way to Greece, where it has just arrived.
