Automatic Identification System

It was brought ot my attention that the AIS system is available on the web at this location to give you a live view of the Minch traffic.

It looks quiet to me (at this precise moment) and the absence of the Loch Bhrusda suggests that some vessels may be omitted, but it gives an idea of what information can be seen by the Coastguard.

At the time of posting, the "Isle of Lewis" was in Birkenhead dock, undergoing refurbishment. Cllr George Lonie had told me he was flying there on Thursday to join the vessel, and bring it back to Stornoway.
