New on the web site - AIS goes live - track Newlyn fishing boats

As of today, using the new ship plotter tracking page, you can track those fishing vessels fitted with AIS who work around the Land's End area - or anywhere around the UK.

Relatively inexpensive and simple to install, AIS has greatly increased awareness of traffic at sea - even small yachts fitted with AIS can accurately track and identify any vessels in their vicinity - whether they have them in sight or not - potentially very useful in poor visibility or fog.


Locally, boats like the netter Silver Dawn and Responsible Fishing Scheme crabber, Emma Louise are some of a growing number of local vessels fitted with AIS.

Access to the new AIS page is from a link on the Newlyn Harbour home page.
