VB.NET and SOAP - multiple records in a datagridview

I am working with an external SOAP webservice that contains real-time information about ships around the world. I have successfully written code that passes username, password and IMO number and returns information about a single ship. I am now trying to pass username, password and bounding latitude/longitude values to return information on all of the ships in the area.

My question is how to handle multiple records (multiple ships). Getting information about 1 ship was easy, I would declare a new vessel and get the returned name, call sign, destination, status, etc. Now I need to get all of that information for multiple ships. I would like to bind this to a datatable and write it to a text file. I think I just need a little direction about how to read the data (XMLreader? something else to store response into a table?) and I can take it from there.

My code for one vessel and the SOAP response for multiple records is attached.

Thanks in advance!

My code for getting information on one ship:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        'initiate service
        Dim svc As New ServiceReference1.VtrServiceClient

        'set up an instance of vessel class to contain ship information
        Dim jdvessel As New ServiceReference1.vessel
        Dim jdTable As New DataTable("vessel")

        Try
            jdvessel = svc.getVesselByIMO("myusername", "password", 123456)

            jdTable.Columns.Add("Call Sign")
            jdTable.Columns.Add("Name")
            jdTable.Columns.Add("Destination")
            jdTable.Columns.Add("Status")

            Dim row1 As DataRow

            row1 = jdTable.NewRow
            row1.Item("Call Sign") = jdvessel.sCallsign.ToString
            row1.Item("Name") = jdvessel.sName.ToString
            row1.Item("Destination") = jdvessel.sDestination.ToString
            row1.Item("Status") = jdvessel.sStatus.ToString

            jdTable.Rows.Add(row1)

            DataGridView1.DataSource = jdTable

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
        End Try

    End Sub
