AIS range gives view of Irish fishing west of the Scillies


With an area of high pressure covering the north Atlantic and the UK, the VesselTracker AIS has increased range allowing a glimpse of Irish registered fishing vessels, some working deep off the Scillies. The Irish registered 38m Play deTuya (bottom left) looks like she is working either lines or nets. Some of these trawlers would have been working near the Newlyn netter Ajax.
