Looks like it was a young version of @IamPete1 who wrote the code so I've added him to the reviewers list |

I suspect this bug was why we weren't getting all sorts of errors with the existing code, we do have multi part messages but it was never trying to reassemble. #29195 I would be un-surprised if there are other bugs hiding in AIS, its quite a complex protocol. |
