Ships stopped near a restricted area
Ships stopped inside a restricted coastal area, every hour.
What it does
Every hour: ships anchored or stopped inside your restricted coastal area (live AIS), each described by xMap AI for the security watch, emailed and mapped.
In one sentence: Every hour at :00, in Hamburg, watch the ships, see which enter the zone, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.
Why it is useful
A ship that stops where it should not is the first sign of trouble. The watch sees it within the hour.

The time it saves
