Port of Norfolk
Ships in Norfolk now, the ones bound here, arrivals and departures and how long ships wait at anchor, from live AIS. Updated every few minutes.
Waiting time at anchor
From the moment a seagoing ship (80 m and over) reports "at anchor" in Norfolk's anchorage to the moment she lies at a berth. Each figure needs at least 5 ships.

Gangway for Seafarers is a free app for people who work at sea: your ship and crew, port pages with places nearby, port watch and sea time. iPhone first, in testing.
Positions come from open AIS feeds and volunteer receivers, each credited on the How it works page. Where no receiver hears a port, ships there are missing. Not for navigation.
