Some simple rules
- JPG, JPEG and PNG are allowed.
- Photo must be sharp.
- No black & white or otherwise discolored images. (e.g. Sepia, Instagram like colors).
- No artificial picture frame. (i.e. generated with Photoshop photo frames, etc.)
- Not mirrored, not upside down and a straight horizon. (Image can be rotated and flipped with the FleetMon Photo Editor.)
- Ship wrecks, accidents as well as dry dock photos are accepted.
- Minimum size is 1920px on the longest side.
- Permitted formats are 2:1, 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 3:4, 1:2.
- When Several vessels are seen in a photo, the main ship in question must be clearly evident.
- Photos have to be able to be distinguished. Too similar photos (Duplicates) will be deleted.
About pixels and ratios
It is natural that small photos look pixelated on today's high-resolution screens, and long thin photos don't look very good on the FleetMon website. If you upload the photos right in the size as they were produced by your camera, there will be nothing to worry about: all modern cameras produce high-resolution photos with a gold-standard size and aspect ratio
However, if you like to rework your photos, please consider the following basic points to make sure that your reworked shots look great both on FleetMon and FleetMon Mobile.
We require a minimum size of 1920 pixels on the longest side and require an aspect ratio higher than 2:1 (or 1:2). For example, 2048 x 1536 pixels is great! Long thin photos of less that 2:1 (for example, a photo with 2000 x 800 pixels) just don't look good.
What objects do we accept images for?
Any object transmitting an AIS signal is referred to as a ship station. These include SAR craft, Coastguard stations, Lighthouses and, increasingly, AtoN (aids to navigation) which are usually buoys. Whilst we are happy to receive photos of ship stations that are not vessels, we will not accept AtoN of the buoy type. For clarity ship stations will be referred to as ship in the Guideline text.
Our photo admins regularly check on new photos and do also delete photos which do not fulfil the requirements. Please don't take it personally, stay respectful and see it as a good possibility to improve your skills.
