They checked online AIS reports. Big deal. It doesn't even show what is past about 70 miles of the coast. IF it is reporting correctly.
So they know NOTHING!
Please don't try to bring facts into this discussion. Thanks
I could not get on to the site for quite a while.
Above I cited the first ship I saw. Indeed from Jahwarlee(sp?) Nehru, India.
Further down the coast, going in and of Savanah, were other ships going to and from distant ports including China and LaHarve, France.
These ships travel at roughly 17 knots or about 20 mph. AIS only reaches out about 70 miles. So you see the last 3 to 4 hours of a voyage. Some of these ships, especially those going trans Atlantic and trans Pacific are very large. It doesn't take a whole gang of them arriving daily to move a lot of goods.
Yes we are in a recession, perhaps spiraling into a deflationary spiral (unless there is war in the ME?) But this is a baseless and silly claim.
