Hello Frank,
This is likely due to your internet service provider blocking the Shipspotting website. It means their servers sees the site, but their access to the site is forbidden.
It is most likely because Shipspotting is unsecured (i.e. HTTP instead of HTTPS) and your ISP doesn't want their infrastructure exposed to unsecured sites.

Using a VPN should solve this problem, and we should all be using VPNs more often.
