Tracking vessels on inland waterways is done with terrestrial receivers located along the river shores. One needs to purchase satellite coverage to track vessels in the ocean far from the mainland. I submitted a request for one, free position location.

Says that it will arrive on the 6th, but not berth until the 24th. Departing back to China on the 31st of March.

Yes, that is correct. Please note the schedule indicates it will only take 5 days to sail back to Pusan from Long Beach.

That would be why all those ship tracking sites want you to sign up. Where do you go to submit a free one time location?

[SpudRider]

I submitted my request to the same website I used to track the inland location of the Minben.

It left that last position 3 days ago. Maybe it will be about halfway to Long Beach when you get the next position.

Yes, but that last position quoted was in Shanghai. The Germany left the port of Pusan one day ago.

I submitted my request about one hour ago, but I am still waiting to be authorized. I think you can purchase a single location request for about $2.40, or you can purchase a plan to track a vessel for 14 days, et cetera.

[SpudRider]

I think I was wrong. You can't get a free location update, you can purchase a single update, 14-day plan, et cetera. A single location check costs approximately $2.40 USD.

I'll buy an update, if we need to, Spud. OR I'll buy my share of the 14 days (or whichever we need to track it) if a better deal.

Let me know what you decide. Heck, I'll even go for two and $5.00! Get my mind off a bad day BS kidney infection...! Well worth it! hehe

This website appears to show the ships exact location.

You can even upload the app to your Android phone for constant updates on ship location.

Curious the map shows the ship heading out into the open ocean but there are no other ships out in the ocean ahead of it. I would have imagined there would be a lot of cargo traffic heading this way. Then again it is a very big ocean.

Adjuster, click on the little map that only shows the Hanjin. On my computer it opens a bigger map with a pot load of ships out there. rj

I might be wrong, but I believe that is the Germany's location as on Sunday, February 22, at 10:35 a.m.
