A useful resource for statistics/mathematics/commerce/... courses?

A group of ShipPlotter enthusiasts (http://www.coaa.co.uk/shipplotter.htm ) bring you live vessel movements from around the Irish Sea (and further!) derived from Automatic Identification System AIS data.

Click on the map to see the individual ships, their statistics and photos.
