Not sure, but maybe they changed their URL. Are u using this one?

http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/home  This should be the right URL.

Cheers Fred

Thanks Fred. Am using that site, same as i always have, My vessel list comes up but main page has whole world map, but no vessels showing at all. Site shows my registration & name & i don,t know what to do. Am not much of a computer person but it was working perfect all along. Below left side refresh is continuing to run & when at zero it starts all over again. Maybe they are trying to get rid of old salties like me because we can,t afford to pay. Site says my limited access is free forever. "SNOCKY"

I'm also a free user, I'm Dutch :-)
what happens when you scroll into your harbour of interest? Or type in a vessel of your interest on the top right?

I'll be back Snocky. Just unemployed since a year. I'll pick my trips to Rotterdam very carefully.  ;D

Thanks Ken. Had word from ais & it works the opposite from what you say. I,ve always stayed logged in & have never had a problem only started today. Now when i log out site works perfectly. Don,t understand, but they are working on it for me now. It sure is great to have this site with so many people like myself, you , fred & so many others able to help us as we age with this younger generation technology to try & cope with. Will let you know what the problem was & still is when i find out. God Bless, "SNOCKY"

Tonight i have appeared to have gone back to the old Marinetraffic site, i can't say im upset, in fact i'm delighted - the old site is FAR superior to the new beast.

I bet it's only temporary though... :(

Hi Ken

Yes as predicted it was short lived back to the new one this morning, guess it was a small gremlin at MT HQ!

Agree with you Ken sometimes the photos take an eternity to load if at all...

Cheers
Richard
