ShipPlotter displays complete information about ships that are within VHF range of your position using the Universal Automatic Identification System (AIS).

Anyone using this? Looks pretty cool!

Sharing...

I think the trial only allows Local, the Sharing is via Registered....
Jack Painter or one of the other folks over at the Ship Plotting forums can probably advise more...

I'm running the 21-day trial. So far, I've configured and turned on every "sharing" option I can find but have yet to see any data from the Internet.

David,

This Chart selected pic is captured a few moments ago using 162.025 as AIS freq and clicking on the Start button.

Everyone note the absence of any data from NOB Norfolk. Guess no one is broadcasting from my peninsula either. Don't know what the landlocked item is, a defense contractor has a mini Pentagon in nrar the same location so may be broadcasting simulations.

I don't think I'm close enough to anywhere these broadcasts are happening, but I'll give it a try.

I think if sharing is disabled in the demo, then it prevents users like me from evaluating the program fairly. Perhaps time-limited Internet sharing would be a fair compromise.

E-Mail Bev - he listens to what his users want and will almost certainly listen to potential users too!

Ais

AIS is currently being installed on all Coast Guard vessels. However, most of the small boats and other LE oriented commands are able to 'restrict' their AIS transmissions so that only other LE vessels can keep track of them. The same is true for the Navy vessels in question in the Hampton Roads area. By sometime next year, all commercially operated vessels are supposedly required to have and operate AIS.

All you ever wanted to know about the AIS system as being planned by the DHS/USCG

May 2007 Briefing

The USN and USCG and other 'Blue Force' units use different-frequency, encrypted versions of AIS to keep track of each other

Hello all,

I'm back online with AIS data again this year from Western Lake Erie for the Great Lakes shipping season. My location from just outside of Toledo Ohio provides coverage of the Maumee River / Port of Toledo and Maumee Bay / Maumee Channel area, as well as coverage that extends out into the western basin of Great Lake Erie. Along with ShipPlotter sharing data this year, I'm now also forwarding AIS information to the ARPS.fi mapping site.
