What is AIS?

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) enhances safe navigation by

exchanging critical navigational data with nearby AIS-enabled targets.

The system utilizes VHF broadcasts to handle information about nearby vessel

traffic as well as aids-to-navigation.

AIS data includes vessel's name, position and course/speed over ground,

allowing you to predict the course changes of other vessels. And since AIS

targets are constantly visible even when

they are shrouded in fog, in darkness,

behind capes, river bends and other

obstructions, this system helps you to

avoid dangerous collisions.
