GRADUALLY WE ARE LEARNING MORE WAYS that businesses are maximizing the usage of new digital devices to make their operations better.  One of them that many of you learned about recently was publicised when a Russian freighter went missing in the Atlantic Ocean and it was quickly located by its GPS positioning signals.

It turns out that all ocean traffic now have these devices onboard which explains the shutting down of all those colorful lighthouses around the world.  All navigation is done by satellite and computer now.

It was only natural that this information would eventually make its way onto a website where we can all play Titan of Industry and follow the merchant ships around the Seven Seas.

At the moment I took this screen capture, there were 11,190 ships being tracked.

Over on the left is the log of display symbols and some search boxes where you can enter a specific ship’s name or port.  For more detail, you just zoom in on a location to see the activity in any specific area.
