I wonder why the previous link to track it is not working again. Would have been cool to see it navigating the canal: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9811000

  Unfortunately at 02:53:44 GMT a web request which, due to high botnet activity and a packet storm, experienced poor routing conditions and unfortunately became wedged in one of the major transatlantic fiber optic cables. Network operators are working to free the stuck request. It is estimated that 50 billion requests per minute are queueing in the cable which will soon become filled if the situation is not resolved quickly. Experts fear the effects to international browsing, and some requests have already begun to take "the long way around."

> imo=9811000 I find it neat? strange? that IMO numbers have checksums: > An IMO number is made of the three letters "IMO" followed by a seven-digit number. This consists of a six-digit sequential unique number followed by a check digit. The integrity of an IMO number can be verified using its check digit. This is done by multiplying each of the first six digits by a factor of 2 to 7 corresponding to their position from right to left. The rightmost digit of this sum is the check digit. For example, for IMO 9074729: (9×7) + (0×6) + (7×5) + (4×4) + (7×3) + (2×2) = 139.[10][11] * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMO_number#Structure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMO_number#Structure MMSI numbers do not: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_Mobile_Service_Identity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_Mobile_Service_Identi...

    Probably not. The site linked uses imo numbers for ship ids.
