We did not want to withhold some Fleetmon internas from you, since we attached great value to this matter. (screenshots of App)
Over the last week Thomas programmed a Flash-Application which makes monitoring quiet simple for us. Now we will get alerted about new sources, it calculates the coverage of antennas, shows the last reception and gives us values like: Raws/minute, range in Kilometers and stream quality.
It will make live easier for us with now more then 50 active AIS sources.
[+] added new internal tool for source monitoring, coverage measuring
[+] added new statistic tool, programmed in Flash




Today we crossed the amount of over 8400 ships in permanent AIS coverage (real time streams), which is also produced by new antennas established over the last week.
The busy port of Kiel right at the end of the Kiel-Kanal, which is connecting North and Baltic Sea, is covered now by Digital-Seas. With the help of Bernward at www.kielmonitor.de we now have a wide view from the tower of a high church, spanning almost 40sm radius.
A bit farer located in the East of Germany is the city of Wolgast. The small town has a larger yard, where cruiseships and military vessels are produced. The Antenna there is catching traffic up to the border to Poland.
Please change your connection settings to the new Server:
Remote IP 193.189.247.193, Remote port 33000
since we took off the old Fleetmon Server at 2009-06-11. Thanks and keep it up :-) Lars
PlanetInAction.com has released the first version of a free 3D simulation game which leverages the browser-based Google Earth plugin as the primary graphics engine. The game is called “Ships” and lets you take the helm on ships - barges, cargo ships, container ships, and even a cruise ship (the Queen Mary 2). Everything is in 3D, you can drive the ships anywhere in the world,
there are sound effects, physical modeling, and realistic visual effects that makes this a wonder to behold. Not only that, but the author - Paul van Dinther - has created some great camera tools to make it easier for people to follow the action and see the sights.
You can try Ships right now, click the “Play Now” button, and make sure you read about the keyboard shortcuts. You can also watch the video review of Ships by Frank Taylor, where you might learn more tips on how to use the simulator. Or, read Frank’s complete review at GearthBlog.com

Today was a perfect suny day, with a calm Baltic Sea in the morning, but quiet a strong wind in the afternoon. Good conditions to leave the yard and go for a cruise on the open Sea. And what a challenge for a new build ship, which is supposed to cruise inland waterways like the Rhine and Danube.
It was nice to monitor all the manouvers of the crew with the help of Fleetmon and the playback of the day track. There will be more tests over the next days until the ship gets delivered in the end of June. What a pitty, I could not go out and shoot some images of the ship, but I will over the next days….

It is the break of the Champions League final, giving me some time for a note (hoping for Manus wake up):
(most of the fixes are related to the last week introduced complete new object-id for vessels)
[*] fixed missing links to detail pages from Fleetmon
[*] fixed 404 errors on symlinked pages
[*] fixed links inside global kml file
[+] added UTC arrival date on vessel detail page
[+] added the ever missing ETA entry on vessel detail page
[+] Added new Coverage Flag in Vessel-Lists
[+] building the grounds for the soon available stations statistics (coverage measuring)
[-] excluded around 300 AIS land stations from the archive listings (until a naming scheme has been defined)
[-] clean up of old vessel entries, with missing parameters (reduced list, around 700, today = 61.075 vessels)
Game is up again, we will concentrate on the bigger screen now….and thanks to all very active uploaders of this busy week !

our brave two years old server is going out of business on friday, which makes it necessary for sharers still using this server to change the IP to:
193.189.247.193 Port 33000
we have a video on this page, showing how to setup ShipPlotter with the correct sharing option, to send to the new Digital-Seas Sharing Server.
http://www.digital-seas.com/open_space/sharing_ais/sharing_howto_contributors.html
There are three sources still using the old IP, so if anybody is missing a signal from friday on, please let us know and check the settings in your SP program.
