did bring 20 years of freedom in my live.
We had a big party last night to honor living in a free country almost half of our lives .
In the night of the 9th November 1989 the wall in Germany came down and we jumped into our “Trabant” car to leave Rostock (EastGermany) on the way to the “green Border” to visit the city of Lübeck (West Germany) for our first time ever. That was a really great time and tears are in my eyes watching all those historic backviews in German television. I am still very glad, that I have the right to say and to do what I think is right.
I would never had the chance in East Germany to do stuff, like this site.
Things can change really quick sometimes, keep believing and take the wave of permanent movement…,
that’s what I learned from our history at least :-)
Hanging out in Nürnberg with the developers of OpenSeaMap project,who just imported hundreds of ports into their DB. http://bit.ly/3JWZOI
we have done a bit of sorting in our new AIS sources from Africa, Asia and Europe and created new pages for the real time view with Fleetmon:
new regions are now online:
Atlantic.PT.ES.FR: http://www.digital-seas.com/fleet_tracking/regions/atlanticptesfr.html
Africa: http://www.digital-seas.com/fleet_tracking/regions/africa.html
Southamerica: http://www.digital-seas.com/fleet_tracking/regions/south_america.html
Asia: http://www.digital-seas.com/fleet_tracking/regions/asia.html
Australia + New Zealand: http://www.digital-seas.com/fleet_tracking/regions/australia_nz.html
Just increased the Maximum vessel results to 500. Please give Performance Feedback…
statistics: we crossed the 9.000 permanent tracked vessels this month, almost 90.000 vessels in the database, 16.000 vessels with images…
going for a mindopen dive now:
[+] added new page: My Vessel List (list of monitored vessels)
[*] changed vessel lists + vessel thumbnails to new option of monitoring
[+] added new page: My Ship Finder (visualizing SP XML files)
[+] added new page: Uploads Timeline (all image uploads browsable)

[+] created new Page explaining DynDNS in the FAQ section
[+] API extensions for Fleetmon :mobile for zone alerts
[*] reaching milestone 2/3 in Fleetmon V2 development
[?] did you try the sitewide search lately ?
We just finished (after parents’ evening) the very helpful feature: My Vessel List
Keep vessels of interest in a central place for a very handy overview. We think you will love it and realize the potential… The list will make it for sure also into the Fleetmon client and into the iPhone version, so you will be up to date at any place. All vessel image thumbnails will now host an option to add the vessel to your list. Have fun with adding and removing :-)
Looking forward to here your feedback.
