Aegean Sea Traffic …
Posted by evdomada on May 2, 2008
Have you ever wanted to see the waterways traffic of the Aegean Sea?
I don’t believe that many of us would say that we truly are interested but this website is pretty amazing.
The Aegean University, in conjuction with the maritime authorities of Greece, have put together a web page that monitors and displays the movement of ships in the Aegean Sea. The ships include passenger liners , cargo, tankers and anything else floating out there that they deemed important enough to track.
It’s a graphical website so knowing the Greek language isn’t necessary but it is written primarily in Greek and provides some information links if you want to find out more about what is being represented on the map.
It uses Google Maps to power the map functions, so you can zoom into one of the listed ports or even go directly to the location of your favorite ship.
Like I said – it’s pretty amazing stuff!
Worth a visit … even if only once!
