As I've just taken up ship-spotting I thought it best to restrict my spotting to one ship.
Using this site: Marine Traffic I've tracked the comings and goings of Mungo the Cargo Ship as it plies it's trade back and forth across the English Channel.
On Tuesday evening I could see Mungo from my attic window. It was anchored about a mile off shore waiting to enter Littlehampton on Wednesday morning.
I cycled down to Littlehampton yesterday to watch Mungo sail into port up the Arun river:
I then hurtled off to film Mungo passing the retractable bridge:
Back on the bike to ride down and film Mungo turning round before mooring:
I'm not sure how much more of this kind of excitement I can take.
Maybe ship-spotting's not for me.

What does Mungo carry, by the way?
Sand as far as I can tell.
The comings and goings and moorings and turning-arounds of Mungo are highly addictive, at least they are in this neck of the woods. I am afraid you are going to have to continue both spotting and filming just to keep me sane.
These 200 foot cargo vessels are fascinating and can be bought for US$300,000 or so. https://www.maritimesales.com/AFS10.htm
