- mschuster91 2y agoMany ships intentionally turn off AIS, partially because there is barely any enforcement.

- mschuster91 2y agoYep that is exactly what I meant, thanks for providing a background source.
- jeroenhd 2y agoI refuse to believe that AIS is the only way ships are being tracked. I think it's probably more likely that nobody is using their military intelligence to track fishing boats.
- mschuster91 2y agoThere's over 100k merchant sea vessels, and that does not include ships that nominally aren't supposed to be on high seas either. It's simply infeasible to do so, unless you're stacking high definition cameras with high precision accuracy control onto Starlink satellites.
- someothherguyy 2y agoBalloons? You only need to track sea cables. I am not sure how it would be helpful though. You could drag an anchor for miles behind a ship.
