We’re doomed! We’re all gonna die.

[research99]

Beware the ghost U-boat fleet!

[Palio di Siena]

we are all gonna die. not because of this, however.

[Nervous Tick]

>> not because of this, however.

Bingo.

I use a similar site called Marine Traffic. If you don’t pay the subscription fee, all you get is ships that are within range of shore mounted equipment. There has to be at very least oil tankers crossing the oceans every day.

Buy American? Oh wait we off-shored along time ago. Bummer.

[mad_as_he$$]

Yes but not from Chinese mushrooms.

Here's a list of the ships due to arrive at NIT, the Port of Virginia in Norfolk...only one of three terminals on the Elizabeth River.

Doesn't look like 'nothings moving' to me.

You'll have to copy and paste if you're interested, I forgot how to post a link.

We're all gonna die.

That is as sure a thing as "taxes".

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Finally we are conserving resources and saving the environment. If only more people would choose to die, the planet would be safer for the rest of us.

[Nervous Tick]

>> That is as sure a thing as “taxes”.

Yep! And we don’t know the hour.

Be prepared.

[Cold Heat]

We’re doomed! We’re all gonna die.

Some of us are....and I am not being sarcastic..

[Ace's Dad]

Isn't this a "leading indicator"? I remember my mother telling me that when the big "fast freight" trains weren't running by our back lot (Yes, I was just on the right side of the tracks!) there were bad times ahead.

And that is just one port

Global Warming enthusiasts are comforted by this news

The maps are not being read correctly. There are ships out.

Map 1 - zoom in to see. legend on left of screen.
Map 2 - FAQ indicates data source used only has a range of about 50NM offshore.

Nice websites.

I can't speak about oil tankers, but I do manage inbound cargo vessels and everything destined for our company is moving normally.

I suppose if you can define the parameters narrowly enough, you can write doom and gloom headlines.

Today, January 11, not a single outdoor mating pair of stink bugs has been found in the entire 11 county area of southwestern Pennsylvania!

You will be pleased to observe that the US Navy has just published regulations for running the Great Green Fleet. I kid you not. That rumbling you hear is Teddy Roosevelt spinning in his grave.

[Cold Heat]

Isn't this a "leading indicator"?

Yes, it is...It says that western economic growth has not only stalled, but is in decline.

This runs contrary to government projections and statistics, but this condition has been the case for some time, and the markets are just now beginning to believe it.

It could mean the beginning of the debt bubble's bursting and a financial disruption that will make 2008 look like a kids birthday party.
