We prove that the elliptic surface ${{y}^{2}}={{x}^{3}}+2\left( {{t}^{8}}+14{{t}^{4}}+1 \right)x+4{{t}^{2}}\left( {{t}^{8}}+6{{t}^{4}}+1 \right)$ has geometric Mordell–Weil rank 15. This completes a list of Kuwata, who gave explicit examples of elliptic $K3$-surfaces with geometric Mordell–Weil ranks 0, 1, … , 14, 16, 17, 18.
