Help and Advice / Movement Related Websites

Good afternoon, Gentlemen.
Not entirely sure if I'm on the right part of the forum but I will start here anyway - if the mods want to move my post to another section or delete it altogether that's just fine.
My question is this. Both the Gibraltar Port Authority and the Port Authority of Algeciras used to run excellent web pages giving movement information - the usual data: arrivals, departures, ships at berth, etc etc etc.
In the past I have made extensive use of both these sites to obtain movement data, particularly on return from my various Med cruises. I was down in Gib the weekend before last and fell into the fatal trap of not logging any movement data because I could "always rely on getting it from the web pages". Sadly however, neither page now appears to be working (although both are still there). Another useful site ("Port Arrivals") also appears to have gone down the tubes.
Does anyone know of any particular reason for this - maritime security perhaps? Or am I just being paranoid, or hitting a particularly unlucky cyber patch?
