All the suggestions above are great & i have everything done as was suggested. Bob was the only one who answered the very simple thing i was asking. For the final & last time will someone out there explain to me why our free version was changed & glutted with world wide shipping from satelllite with no data ships shown all over except free ones we origionally had. Is it advertising for us to pay for huge cost to upgrade? "SNOCKY".

Phil that is the site i use. Just go to it & see what i,m talking about. Site now shows ships 99% with no data. Before this happened only ships on free site had all data attached which was good.Now it,s a mess. Isn,t it possible to go way it was before. Why put thousands of ships on site with no names & data. Complete mess. "SNOCKY"

Have AIS FREE VERSION & for years now i,ve thoroughly enjoyed it. Was able to pick up all near coastal vessels with names etc., but now they have made the site horrible by inserting ships worldwide with sat.insignia on each vessel & no name or data. A lot of the areas that i used to pick up some vessels names are now not free anymore & being an old seaman on very low income i can,t afford to pay huge sum to access the full site. Why do you guys force us older seamen with this new change as it is a mess. Is there any way i can delete any ships that don,t show their name or data as it is a mess with out it. "SNOCKY" P. S. I t seems as if the free is not free anymore

Might be for you but not here. I have free access with limited areas. That is partially working but all ships worldwide are showing on my site but only names of some from my previous viewing are showing names. Still a mess here. Wish i was able to set up as before but now a complete mess. Would appreciate help from someone or somewhere to get to where i was before. "SNOCKY"

Mr. English i don,t need a sermon from you or any other person on this site . I asked for some support as being not too up on the computer works of today & being a 76 yr. old retired seaman with low income i don,t have the advantage of being able to get full access to this whole site only the free part & would gladly help anyone at anytime with any info on any articles pertaining to the sea & it,s life & give my time & effort to them without any payment in return or any pats on the back. Thanks "SNOCKY"

Already stated what i,m looking for. As per TRANSFIGHTER i was wondering that steaming across atlantic at 8 to 9 knots if she had engine trouble or being in ballast was steaming slow to conserve fuel. Very simple question for someone in the know. Transwood & Transpine requested info on previous post very simple to read & understand to any who have any facts beyond what i have stated. "SNOCKY"

Any news out there on what is going on with TRANSWOOD & TRANSPINE both now under liberian flag with new names of KPS IBRAMIM BEY & KPS MEHMET BEY. I understand they were or are supposed to go to turkey & be used for some sort of power units of west africa. Presently steaming to MANTYLULO finland,but in last 2 or 3 days stopping for times. Very weird. New crew or engine trouble? Origional destination stated instanbul. Transfighter now at uddvella tied up. Any news on her as well? Sad to see these go by the way as sister ship ORANJEBORG still pounding along back & forth north atlantic presumably in good shape with paper cargo. "BOB".
