Spying on the Seven Seas with AIS

http://j.mp/ZZFUCv  (Rapid 7)

    "In a short period of 12 hours we were able to collect almost 2 GB of
     data logged by dozens of receivers worldwide. We counted millions of
     AIS messages and out of those, we were able to track more than 34,000
     unique vessels and observed many more that were not providing an
     identifier. We expect that with a fresh global scan and an extended
     monitoring, this number would grow drastically."
