Dept.of Information Overload: Click here and y0u will be directed to a site that shows every single empty and full cargo ship in the SE Asian waters. You can click on the individual marks and you will instantly learn both the name and designation of the ship. A second click will further advance your knowledge about the individual ship. You can go on forever with this new Google and Microsoft searches and find dam near everything in the world. The business utility of going to this particular site is that you learn just how many ships are sitting around empty, BAD NEWS for you guys seeing "green shoots" in the economy. Keep in mind that every orange dot equals at least 200 workers not working plus hundreds more in industries depending on foreign cargo. Great tool. Depressing info. BTW click here for an even more detailed chart-map.
