Just a quick answer to your comparison with MarineTraffic. Marinetraffic will have significantly better coverage than aisstream.io. They include both satellite and ground AIS where we do not ingest satellite nor have as complete ground coverage as them.
Ah okay. Thanks for your answer. Are there plans to implement support for satellite / ground in future? Would love to collaborate if you're looking for contributors
Are these boats not boats under 43 foot. If yes, see other reported issue.
Hi, may I ask if there are plans to increase the coverage (to include satellite and/or additional ground stations) for this stream since the previous answer provided in Aug 2023? Thanks for this stream, it has made AIS data much more readily accessible
Firstly, thanks for making such a great API. Would love to contribute if you're looking for contributors.
I'm currently consuming the AIS stream to get vessel information for Auckland, NZ. However when I compare the data I'm receiving to the data available on a tracker such as marinetraffic.com, I seem to be missing the data for a lot of ships?
Why is this? Do other services provide more coverage for a given area? This is important as I need to be able to trust that I am getting reliable coverage for a given area.
Here is the flutter code I am using, for reference. Note that I am only using the
PositionReport
,StandardClassBPositionReport
, andExtendedClassBPositionReport
types. Should I be using others for position reports as well?Example: My App (using aisstream.io)
Example: Marinetraffic.com (Has additional position data that I do not)
