From The Could Be Nothing Files: 57 ships Anchored off shore of NJ, MD/VA
UPDATED TOWARDS BOTTOM OF POST
From Investment Watch:
Not sure what’s going on, might be nothing, but never saw this before! In a Weather Program I use I have the program set to get Weather and Ocean reports from anchored ships off shore. In this case ships anchored offshore in the Mid Atlantic States off the coast of NJ and MD/VA.
On the marinetraffic.com website this is not shown, might be due to being to far off shore!
4 days ago there was 12 ships anchored in a group 100 miles offshore of MD and VA. Right now theres 23 ships anchored in this group
The last 2 days another group of ships, but spread a bit further apart is anchored off the NJ shore starting from 25 miles out to aprox 150 miles off shore. In all 32 ships are anchored.
In the FULL RES screen capture images I uploaded you will see this. Look for the Green Anchor Icons. Each Icon is a Anchored Ship. The blue flags are wind direction and wind speed reports from those ships. For more info I hover my mouse over the ship (which you will see in second image)

From my friend, HRW:
Saw your post on unusual pattern of ships anchored off the eastern seaboard and thought I'd mention this as well.
I am including three photos I took in New York Harbor a couple of weeks ago.
This was the second time I was departing NY on a ship in the last 14 months and note security measures were much more apparent this time.
Police boats escorted us out of harbor while a NYPD helicopter hovered back and forth over our ship the entire length of the harbor.
What seemed even more out of the ordinary was the site of several barges anchored together in the bay. Barges are commonly seen on the river or in harbor, but I've never seen multiple barges anchored in pairs or multiples scattered in a random pattern like that before.
Don't know what to make of it but thought I'd mention it to you, given the topic of your post, "From The Could Be Nothing Files: 57 ships Anchored off shore of NJ, MD/VA". ???? - HRW

Via UK This is south devon:
THE number of giant tankers anchoring off the South Devon coast has been raised with maritime officials
Sign of economic downturn - no cargo to ship?
