Marine1775, While I too am no expert, you'd be surprised at what is available to the public, for free, concerning maritime traffic. Check out: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ On that site, which is one of many, you can get real-time updates of merchant vessel locations worldwide. If you drill down, you can get their maritime call-sign. Also, nations publish "Notice to Mariners" that warn of navigation and weather hazards. I would strongly suspect that in the case of an established localized conflict, merchant vessels in the area know the risk they are taking and would (hopefully) have ample time to make alternate arrangements. Of course, it would be inevitable that in a no-notice situation that some would be in harms way. Regards, Feltan
