Current Farthest Ship:Acknowledgements: this site, and indeed the pleasure I get from the AIS hobby, would not have been possible without the valuable help from the following people: Bev - the creator of Shipplotter, the program used to decode the AIS transmissions, Chris from Napier whose loan of his AIS receiver made me decide to purchase my own - Chris also solved a power supply problem I was having. Ron from the Isle of Lewis who kindly steered me through some of the intricacies of the Shipplotter software, the website at AIS Greece for their very clear and easy to follow instructions on setting up an AIS receiving station, Curt Degan from Florida with his add-ons for Shipplotter and all the members of the Shipplotter community who have kindly taken the time to answer my 'raw beginner' questions. My sincere thanks to you all. Disclaimer: The information contained herein is intended for entertainment purposes only.
