Hi Tristin,

I have contacted MT moderators many times over copyright issues, or in case that completely wrong vessels were shown under specific names. Every time their reaction was prompt, but I have never asked them to change/amend vessel data.

Cheers

Vlad

 Hi
just one remark from my side. Marinetraffic has only vessels with MMSI in their database. A vessel had to had once in its live an active AIS transponder working. From this moment the vessel is in the database of MT. As I know, every ships sets is basically data in it's transponder on the vessels AIS unit itself. If there are wrong data, which are sended out all the time, it's maybe diffcult (or impossible) for MT to make any corrections, because the master is the transponder... Could have a legel aspect as well.

This statement is just an assumption, but could be reason, that MT don't make any corrections.

Kind regards
Marc
