The animation was reconstructed using publically-available AIS data and shows a laden shuttle tanker berthing at Fawley Oil Terminal near Southampton (UK) with assistance from three tugs. Each of the vessels are transmitting date, time, latitude, longitude, heading, course over ground (COG), speed over ground (SOG) and rate of turn (ROT) data. The animation has been created to replay at 10x  speed solely to keep the video file size manageable.
