Once the stuff of science fiction, AIS lets you "see" other close-by boats even if they are beyond your visual range. Here's what you need to know before installing this dynamic safety system.

2022年9月1日 · Automatic Identification System, or AIS for short, is a marine technology that allows vessels of all sizes to exchange navigational information and identity with each other and with shore-side traffic monitoring systems.

2019年8月16日 · The Automatic Identification System is a digital VHF radio-based transponder system that can prevent collisions, and can protect your boat from being run down by a huge, fast moving ship. It’s like digital radar with precise position information.

Vessel Size & Usage: Offshore cruisers and commercial operators often benefit most from AIS transceivers, while smaller recreational boats may opt for an AIS receiver. Navigation System Compatibility: Ensure the AIS unit supports your existing chartplotter, radar, or navigation software (via NMEA 2000 or 0183).

2024年4月23日 · It is a ship-to-ship, and ship-to-shore, transponder system that uses VHF to exchange static information about a vessel - name, call sign/MMSI, length, draft – and dynamic information about a vessel- GPS position, speed over ground, course over ground, and sometimes, intended destination.

2022年8月22日 · AIS forms part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and is a requirement for all vessels over 300 tons on international voyages, 500 tons non international and all passenger ships to transmit, on VHF, information in digital form which says who they are, where they are, what sort of vessel they are and useful information ...

2025年1月8日 · AIS, or Automatic Identification Systems, are crucial for keeping you safe on the water. They send out info like your boat's location and speed to other vessels and shore …

The automatic identification system (AIS) is an automatic tracking system that uses transceivers on ships and is used by vessel traffic services (VTS). When satellites are used to receive AIS signatures, the term Satellite-AIS (S-AIS) is used.

2019年11月21日 · AIS uses VHF radio to transmit data gathered from a vessel’s GPS and other navigational sources. Message types are predefined and the number and type of messages received and transmitted...

2024年1月27日 · An automatic Identification System (AIS) is an automated tracking system that displays other vessels in the vicinity. The broadcast transponder system operates in the VHF mobile maritime band. Your ship also shows on the screens of other vessels in the vicinity, provided your vessel is fitted with AIS.
