I don’t understand any glee over the oil industry’s hardships, especially while living in a state that’s so dependent on it doing well. Plus, people who have jobs in the oilfield, like everyone else, eat out, buy vehicles, buy houses, etc. that prospers others.

Because a lot of people in this world are selfish pricks, only concerned with themselves and to hell with everyone else.

Yeah you can spend some time on that site, especially looking at boats going up and down the river or following super tankers

I host 2 antennas on top my office for MIS systems(Vessel Finders) and Vessel Tracker and in return I get free subscriptions.

You should see the cool shite you can do when you can log in.

I hope this isn't a silly question, but is there any way to determine what sorts of vessels those are? What do the colors mean? Can the difference between an oil tanker, freighter, container or oil field service vessel be determined?
