***Hmmm now what does that look like?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looks like the Ever Given is swinging at anchor.

The transmitter antenna for the AIS (Automatic Identification System) is usually located atop the bridge or wheelhouse, which in the case of the Ever Given is 1/4 to 1/3 ship’s length back from the bow (1300 ft long, so 300 to 400 feet from the bow). The anchor is located in the bow (actually there are 2, but only one would be used here).

Depending on tide and wind, when at (bow) anchor the boat will act like a weathervane and the stern will point away from the wind/tide/current. Because the AIS antenna is located away from the bow, it will often show up as an arc or circle on sites like marinetraffic.

Chile is making people apply for ‘digital passports’ just to go out of their houses. This is not related to the vaccines, but it the same sort of smartphone / QR code based technology.
Whitney Webb talks about it at around teh 5 minute mark.

You got it in one. Dittos.

There was some controversy (contraversy for our British cousins) with the early installations of GPS, then NAVSTAR, on larger ships, such as carriers. The antenna is high on the main mast. Therefore, designers dutifully made adjustments so that each repeater showed its exact location in three dimensions. The problem was that the repeaters on the Bridge, in Combat, Flag plot, PriFly, CVIC, etc. all showed different locations. IIRC - the solution was for all repeaters to show the bridge location.
