He sent me the following email</p> <p>Working now. Software claimed expiry but closed and opened again and okay. I have contacted Lars regarding this as our Sydney Server is a join effort from me (woosang) Fictillius and Orangetim. All three of us work together to keep out little AIS running.<br /> AT this stage it is working. If we go off line again I will email Evan again about it. </p> <p>There has been reports from people here regarding Fleetmon not working so maybe its an issue between the server and the mobile app???</p> <p>I am looking into putting another servers further south to get Botany bay.. </p> http://forum.digital-seas.com/topic/melbourne-port#post-1140 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:49:52 +0000 miraflores 1140@http://forum.digital-seas.com/ <p>Another possibility to see AIS-Datas from Australia is:</p> <p><a href="http://www.shippos.dk/shippos001.kmz" rel="nofollow">http://www.shippos.dk/shippos001.kmz</a></p> <p>Regards<br /> Jürgen </p> http://forum.digital-seas.com/topic/melbourne-port#post-1139 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:44:19 +0000 miraflores 1139@http://forum.digital-seas.com/ <p>The stream of Sydney and Melbourne is serving datas to Shipplotter.<br /> Screenshot from today.</p> <p><a href="http://i50.tinypic.com/rwrlac.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i50.tinypic.com/rwrlac.jpg</a> </p> http://forum.digital-seas.com/topic/melbourne-port#post-1138 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:40:44 +0000 MindOpen 1138@http://forum.digital-seas.com/ <p>@melzie: the simplest answer is probably: because we do not have an antenna over there.

So if you know of any stream or source we could make use of, please let me know.</p> <p>@woosang: the Sydney stream is off since last Tuesday, I wrote an email to the member we are getting the signal from, without answer yet.

The IMO of a shipü will never change, the MMSI always changes with the flag. The first 3 numbers show you the country.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gmdss.com.au/mids.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.gmdss.com.au/mids.htm</a></p> <p>For example:<br /> Germany starts with 211 and 218<br /> Denmark starts with 219 and 220<br /> Belgium starts with 205<br /> etc. </p> http://forum.digital-seas.com/topic/new-database#post-1132 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:13:15 +0000 CX9AAW 1132@http://forum.digital-seas.com/ <p>@ MindOpen<br /> Of all that is being written in this forum, which by the way I always visit, and if something is shared, ideas are understood, what I like most is what was written by Lars, is that they update the database, is great news, because if so I will rise stomatal many ships to my page.<br /> Thanks.<br /> Javier </p> http://forum.digital-seas.com/topic/last-ship-wiki-edits#post-1131 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:59:43 +0000 CX9AAW 1131@http://forum.digital-seas.com/ <p>@ IanJohn<br /> If you have every reason to believe that only with the IMO NUMBER<br /> 0000000 VESSEL TYPE CONTAINER SHIP HULL TYPE SINGLE HULL<br /> SUMMER 6362 tons GROSS TONNAGE 7223 DWT tons BUILD 1996<br /> BUILDER SIETAR Schiffswerft HAMBURG - GERMANY,<br /> that this will never change, and it will be enough, thanks for the comment </p> http://forum.digital-seas.com/topic/new-database#post-1130 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:06:50 +0000 MindOpen 1130@http://forum.digital-seas.com/ <p>yep, that is theory so far. in reality you are confronted with misstyped numbers,<br /> missing numbers and changing numbers.<br /> depending on the accuracy of technicians and crew members and the timeslot they adopt to changes, you will recieve all kinds of stati for AIS signals. </p> <p>Most common, and in your case, is simply the change of ownership. In the search list, we will show all appearences of this particular vessel-body, so people are able to compare.<br /> the images are the only "real" clue to connect history data, since there is only a theoretical "live time" IMO. We do reflect this by showing all connected images on the detail page.<br /> for instance the Brovig Mistral is now LS Anne and only Ians image is connecting this history info, because more then three paras in the AIS signal changed.<br /> <a href="http://www.digital-seas.com/vessel_search/vessel_details/on/zdhk9_brovig_mistral_q29767.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.digital-seas.com/vessel_search/vessel_details/on/zdhk9_brovig_mistral_q29767.html</a><br /> <a href="http://www.digital-seas.com/vessel_search/vessel_details/on/ls%20anne_q47376.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.digital-seas.com/vessel_search/vessel_details/on/ls%20anne_q47376.html</a></p> <p>We developed many algorythms to cope with the situation. If more then three parameters change over time (MMSI, IMO, NAME, LENGTH for expl.), we will create a new body.<br /> As long as we only rely on AIS signals to fill up the database thats a good way. </p> <p>This year we will extend the database with static vessel data from other references and will allow user corrections.</p> <p>You can trust the database, but sometimes you have to look around a bit, there are probably chances to improve the views... </p> http://forum.digital-seas.com/topic/new-database#post-1129 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:10:28 +0000 Stevo 1129@http://forum.digital-seas.com/ <p>When I search with imo 9311385, I receive 2 vessels Sepen - Brovig Mistral<br /> When I search with imo 9421623, I receive 2 vessels Vedrey Heimer - Albertus F<br /> When I search with mmsi 236331000, I receive 2 vessels Vedrey Heimer - Brovig Mistral</p> <p>I was told that imo and mssi never change from a vessel and you can never have 2 times the same number.
