Wrong IMO. It should be 9315006.

Yes, she is in Moerdijk. Destination uncertain.

Hi coastwatcher, the opposite is true. If you go back several days the problem arises where a minority of persons exploit the site and "ripping" off members photos for gain/profit.  Technically any copying of a photo, even for your own viewing, is "illegal". All original work be it music, text, photos or even a scribble on a piece of paper is copyrighted immediately. No need for circled C etc. or to make that statement.  Its covered by international law/ prosecution automatically.  You can personally redact that copyright and make the subject "royalty free" or a "stock photo" but you have to make that statement on every article/photo.
So technically it is illegal for you/me to copy another persons photo without permission and by allowing such an act the site is seen to be complicit. The discussion was trying to find a way for site members to enjoy each others photos and "copy for personal use to computer for our enjoyment/viewing at home". Strictly speaking this is illegal. Its so easy on this site for felons to exploit our photos.
We are trying to find a way to stop those who are taking advantage of "our" photos for their money gain, claiming the photos are their own to sell without spoiling enjoyment of the site.

Sorry ChasB46 - you have lost me completely. The opposite of what is true? I am well aware of the laws of copyright. You rightly say that posting copyright photos on this or any other site is illegal. There is a body of opinion that claims it is ok to post the images of others because it is only for the enjoyment. This is irrelevant. The felons, as you call them, are only part of the problem.

it wasn't so long ago a lot of us enthusiasts just had to turn up on the river/dock and see what happened or was around :)

Agreed. Genuine ship spotting rather than AIS spotting. Glory days (to quote Bruce Springsteen  :)

I cannot image a new edition of Coastal Ships seeing the light of day. Publishing company Crecy took over from Ian Allan and they have virtually no interest in ships. Most of their output is dominated by books about aircraft and trains, with a few bus books.

Coastal Shipping magazine includes cargo details of all ships calling at one of the ports on the Ouse. The magazine is published bi-monthly.

Agreed. There is only spasmodic response to clicks at the moment.

This is what their advert says .."This recently revised book is one of a three volume series that lists all the Passenger, Tankers, Cargo and Miscellaneous Vessels that may be found in European waters."

Plus
 "Altogether the three books now list over 37,500 vessels. PLEASE NOTE: We also publish a Shipping book listing all the vessels in our three volume series by alphabetical name order, followed by the vessel`s IMO number. This book is available FREE OF CHARGE to anyone who buys all three of our Ship spotting books."

Also the compendium / free book lists in alphabetical order (their words) so will still be a trawl to find ISO number because they will be "random".

I've no knowledge of the books other than the publishers wording in their adverts.

How many ships with IMO numbers still in service? ... Equasis statistics of 2017 = 90715.

I realise that you are at a disadvantage if you do not possess the books. However the link that you provide takes you to some sample pages. I have checked the first 20 vessels on these pages - only 4 of these 20 are European.
