Something strange at the moment on Live Ships Map - not a single vessel shown in the Sound of Mull, and all Calmac's local ferries are missing. Even Yeoman Bontop, all 100,000 tons or so of her, has disappeared, as has Tobermory lifeboat.

Perhaps they are all wherever Jura has gone to!
 
Maybe, like me, they are fed up with getting 'dangerous AIS target' alarms from yotts and stink-pots tied onto pontoons and have switched the dammed thing off?
 
All the usual moored yachts and stinkpots have gone too, as have the beacons and lighthouses!

Perhaps now is a good time to done tin foil hats.
 
Not on mine. it's not!
Jura has completely disappeared except for its only road and a few spots of land. There are still boats in the Sound of Islay though.
 
Jura has been missing for three weeks now. The map base is from Google, who are "aware of the problem, and our engineers are beavering away to fix it".
Slow beavers.
 
Oh no it hasn't!
I just checked- it may be shown on the satellite/aerial images, but ain't on the map or on Marinetraffic's map.

Remember that this data is not produced commercially but by volunteer stations. Maybe someone in your area has gone on holiday and switched of his VHF and computer/router. Simpleeees
 
Doesn't really explain it. Although at first everything from the Sound of Mull disappeared, later on a ship from Loch Linne entered the Sound, and was the only thing shown.
I wonder if the Trident sub, noted in the "wonder if it's one of ours" post, had anything to do with it?
