Description

Go to Vessel Finder: https://www.vesselfinder.com/ Zoom in on a NON-U.S. region of the world as I have in the following image. Narrow your screen view down to a single port with multiple ships – such as this image of Shanghai, China. Select at least three different color and different size ships and determine the ship data from the screen. Start a discussion thread where you include screen shots of your port, ships, and identifying data.

Tell us the port, ships, where they originated, what country they are flagged under, recent ports of call, etc. such that you can explain where this ship came from, where it is going to, and what it is hauling. Continue your discussion thread with an explanation of how this type of electronic data fits into the National Maritime Security of the U.S.

Remember to incorporate references to justify your arguments.
