Help and Advice / Playback feature for AIS type sites?

« on: February 25, 2015, 07:48:33 PM »

With Shipfinder removing the playback feature from their website can anyone help as regards another site that provides this data please?

Using the Dover-Dunkerque route two or three times a month I found playback a very handy thing to identify ships seen during the crossing..

Have searched today but have failed to find anything.

Thanks and any help appreciated.

Anyone know more please?

Help and Advice / Search facility on Marine Traffic website

« on: October 23, 2013, 07:11:12 PM »

I might be having a senior moment but when entering a vessels name into the search box on the new website it returns multiple answers, For example entering Grande Portogallo returns 253 vessels on 26 pages.

I cant seem to find a filter option to search just for that name rather than it returning every vessel with the word Grande in it.

Could this facility only be available for subscribers now?

Regards Rob

Trip reports / Newbie from the UK

« on: September 10, 2013, 04:48:18 PM »

Hi all, Have taken up ship spotting again after a break of almost 30 years ! Am situated on the South Coast of the UK near Shoreham and the interest was re-kindled by regular walks on the south downs and being amazed at the amount of traffic Westbound up the Channel that I can see and indeed identify.

Am regularly in Dunkerque and looking forward to visiting numerous other ports in Belgium & the Netherlands soon.

Be interested if anyone else is in the Sussex area.

Look forward to contributing in the future.
