Interested in ships? Join the Isle of Wight or Southampton branch of the World Ship Society for a full program of events.

This site hosted by:

The annual Isle of Wight World Ship Society boat trip to see Solent Shipping will take place on 26th June 2008. This trip is open to everybody - you do not need to be a member.

Click on the fly out menu under Ship Position Map and select the area you want. The Overview map shows ships out to 30 nautical miles of Southampton VTS at dockhead. Other maps detail the Areas of the Solent, Southampton, Esso Marine Terminal, Portsmouth St.Helens anchorage and Poole. All the maps except one will not show ships with AIS units programmed with ‘Pleasure Craft’ or ‘Sail’ as the vessel type. There is also a Solent map which highlights the ferries and passenger ships. The radar image is from Southampton VTS.

This is a snapshot of where the ships have been taken one afternoon. The colour denotes the ship direction. Use the bottom scroll bar to see further to the east.
