Look at www.marinetraffic.com/ais and you can see most if not all the ferries either in port or en route - map changes in real time. Ferries show as dark blue. You can get pictures, details, track etc. etc.
Warning: may be addictive and time-wasting.
 
That's genius!! When it finally refreshes, shows over 3,000 vessels in the Channel alone!!

Hope the Somali pirates don't get hold of that site...

Glad you like the site. Dover Strait is particularly interesting / frightening. Many years ago I was involved with post-launch sea trials of 20,000 ton motor ships, part of which was to see how quickly they could stop from full speed ahead. Can't remember the exact time but it was plenty to have a pie and a couple of pints before the Lloyds inspector deemed the vessel to have stopped.

(If you like this site, try www.flightradar24.com and look aat Heathrow area. Runs better on Chrome than on IE)
