AIS River Orwell and beyond...

[MartinWaller]

I've just set up a new web site www.OrwellAIS.com that provides a real-time AIS display of the ships in the area. It's non commercial, just a hobby of mine...

Martin,
Nice site and well put together. Have you spoken to www.aisliverpool.co.uk to get it added in their source data?

Now I don't want to be a killjoy, but a word of advice - the MSI info you provide isn't public data - i.e. someone somewhere owns it. For example, nav warnings are owned by UKHO and their permission is required to reproduce / disseminate. Same goes for the Met Office and weather data (and they are very territorial about usage!).
I'm sure they wouldn't object to reproduction, but asking them (if you haven't already done so) would cover your back.
Sad to have to do it, but in this day and age...

Many thanks for all the positive comments. I was wondering what generated all the hits, You must forgive me though what is this Scuttlebut?

Many thanks

Martin
