I was having a Sunday morning surf, and just came across the Lloyds Maritime Information web site. Amongst various interesting marine data sources they provide is an AIS network, covering what looks like hundreds of ports world wide.
Of particular interest is the AIS Free service that they provide, with provides data for the major ports. I've registered for this service and as soon as I get more information, will update you.

My big question is can it stream / play AIS log data in MacENC? I'd imagine it probably won't (as the IP stream would be huge), but will be interesting to play with..
