Hello All,
I came through this post
https://www.facebook.com/groups/461762734603032/user/100006372151496

The Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) HF Radio Service Net, FCC Call Sign KPK, is pleased to announce a new service. We have always taken Float Plans of vessels making offshore passages, and tracked them using the HF Radio and/or a satellite GPS tracker such as a Garmin In Reach or Iridium Go.

We now have secured the capability to receive AIS signals from the MarineTraffic satellite feed. This essentially gives us the ability to track any vessel transmitting an AIS signal from most anywhere in the world.

Could OCC be interested in getting the same type of capabilities (access to Sat-AIS data), so that Members' boat positions via Sat-AIS become available when outside coastal stations range?

regards
roberto

Thank you Simon.
£35k... I wonder who would pay such a sum, after all ships can send continuous position updates via satellite, there are a number of free platforms where positions can be displayed in real time.
I was thinking to MT as a lot of people seem to use and like it, I personally use Winlink and appear on MT displays only when in their coastal receiving stations range.

Just to avoid confusion- that was to the whole OCC Fleet of 1,000 boats. Using the terrestrial feeds to our website's OCC Fleet map is actually incredibly cheap - I think <£1/year per boat.
