Hey, Guys, i researched into the possibility of tracking my own containers and the ship that they sail in and discovered a great variety of tools. I can trace any ship( ship name and IMO required if available) and be able to pinpoint exactly where the vessel is anytime on the course of it's voyage.
I was impatient with my shipping agent telling me stories and i decided to get the information myself.
This is the itinerary of a container i shipped in May. I went into Google Earth located the ship and know exactly where it was and when it was expected in the next port. See for yourselves,

AENNE RICKMERS

Uhhmmmm can you tell me how you got this cos tried tracking all my containers but could not find em. Thanks.

you mean you put a GPS tracking device in a closed up container and it worked? Or do you mean the vessel owners installed the device in their vessel? Or what exactly are you trying to tell us?

@Akpangbon what iam saying is that with technology you can trace any vessel in any waters on earth. In conjunction with Google Earth and other vessel trackers, it is possible to pinpoint the exact location of any non military vessel at any time, that is what iam saying.
@arnold, you have to install Google Earth on your PC, then i will show you what you need to do. In the meantime send me your container no. and the vessel it sailed on and i will locate your ship for you.

can you send me a pm arnold@infinite-autos.com

Port of Hamburg

@arnold, As i already suggested, post you container number here and carrier vessel and i will trace the vessel anywhere on earth for you. Try and see
