Thank you for the offer Simon,

I checked and I am sending the report from my gmail address and that is also the address that I log in to Marinetraffic with.

This is the body of the email that I sent:
MMSI=235093969
LAT=-149.2
LON=-17.485
SPEED=0.0
COURSE=0
TIMESTAMP=2021-03-12 23:30

Despite sending this, and similar, emails we never seem to leave Port Linton in Panama. 

I read at the bottom of the Marinetraffic help page that you should tell them if you want to send email position reports. I have therefore now done that. Maybe this will help.

Still living in hope
Neill

Yes I would be happy to help as I have succeeded with both in the past.

If you show me a copy of your reporting email that would be a good start. One common error is to send from an email account which is not the one registered with your email MarineTraffic account.

I have now been trying to get our boats position in to the OCC Fleet Map since well over a year but am obviously incapable.
I have been trying to send the position to Marine traffic via email as described at
https://help.marinetraffic.com/hc/en-us/articles/205327427-Report-My-Position-Through-Email but it has never worked.
Now I have tried using the onCourse App but also with no obvious results.

Could some one who has managed to send their position by email maybe help. It really does not look difficult. But the map has us in Panama and we are in Tahiti.

Thank you
