Are there AIS vessel reporting alternatives to marinetraffic.com?

The reason I ask is that this site is no longer reporting shipping to/from the Port of Savannah. I assume their volunteer and/or gear for that port is no longer operational.

I need to know what's coming and going at Savannah and would really like another (free) source if there is one.

Any advice appreciated.
 
well, you can do like I do and run an AIS and upload the data to them. Any AIS data you see on the delaware river in the philly area is being supplied by me!
 
Philly: That's something I would do if I lived in Savannah, but I am 3 hrs away in Augusta.
 
shipspotting.com is now running a beta version that is very similar to the one marine traffic uses. Checked Savannah this morning and it shows traffic.
 
Another option might be to alert marinetraffic.com to the apparent reporting outage. They (and their probably-volunteer supplier) might just not have noticed yet...

I've noticed the same thing about Savannah. It used to there was no AIS reporting from Charleston, now Charleston has it and Savannah doesn't. It's fun to watch the few recreational boats that transmit AIS data as they progress up or down the ICW but without Savannah, there's a big hole in the trip.
