  Maritime Watch http://www.maritimewatch.com Search for port contacts & weather warnings  Maritime watch gives you targeted information using the website and through email (better for expensive communication links). Basically you send a position report every day and any pertinent information regarding hazards along the route including weather alerts, pirate activity, warnings to mariners etc are sent straight to the ship automatically. Also you can select any port in the world or find it through an interactive world map. Each port has links to a wide range of information sources from finding a doctor or chemist, to intelligence on crime or courier services. An email based version of this service uses an automated reply service to answer any specific questions such as: Is there a port agent in Avarua on Rarotonga? What is the contact information for a search-and-rescue organization in Chile? There is also information on weather and tides: the website provides weather forecasts for some 8,400 land stations as well as a wide variety of weather charts for virtually every portion of the globe. These services cover storm-tracking maps, tide tables, satellite images, tropical weather, sea surface temperatures, and wave heights. Subscription services give detailed weather alerts by email.
