You live by the sea, participate in the AISHub network!

AISHub is a real-time AIS data sharing network to which SailGrib contributes and subscribes.

This allows you to view the AIS data of the AISHub network in SailGrib WR.

Unfortunately, not all areas are covered by AISHub. We encourage you to contribute by setting up an AIS station in your home. You can find the AISHub real-time coverage map here.

Here is the AISHub coverage of the England south coast on May 22, 2019

How to install a fixed AIS station and share data?

• live by the sea and have a relatively clear view.
• build an AIS station for about 250€
  • AIS receiver: dAISy 2+ (90€ shipment included)
  • VHF antenna with bracket (about 60€) or home-made antenna
  • Self-powered 20m USB cable (20€ on Amazon)
  • Raspberry Pi3 starter kit (75€ on Amazon)
  • rPiAIS software (free on AISHub)
• Place the receiver in a waterproof electrical box, and install it on a mast with the AIS antenna. Install and configure rPiAIS (it’s very simple).
