- After an exciting week where the whole world was tracking the EVER GIVEN, the large container ship stuck in the Suez Canal, we put together a live stream to discuss Maritime OSINT! In this stream, we talked about various ways to track the movements of vessels large and small. We also talked about ways to use social media, job boards, real-estate, and shipspotting sites to glean information on vessels and crew.
- Tracking sites mentioned:
- MarineTraffic
VesselFinder - Link to the Ever Given in MarineTraffic
- ShipSpotting
- ShipsSpotting example using the Ever Given
- Social Media
- Example of using Twitter to track Chinese research vessel movements
- Other
- Measuring a ship’s speed using the size of the wake
- Using Real Estate sites like Matterport to tour ships
- Webcams at ports can be a great way to see the physical space
