  • Page 10: Background To Ais

    CSB200-S 6 BACKGROUND TO AIS The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a location and vessel information reporting system. It allows vessels equipped with AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly update their position, speed, course and other information such as vessel identity with similarly equipped craft.
  • Page 11: Installation

    CSB200-S In operation, an AIS unit uses one of two VHF channels within the international marine band allocation (channel 87B, 161.975 MHz, or channel 88B, 162.025 MHz) to regularly transmit information such as the vessel position, Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI), Name, Speed, Course, etc.

    CSB200-S 19 GENERAL WARNINGS All marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) units utilise a satellite based system such as the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) network or the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) network to determine position. The accuracy of these networks is variable and is affected by factors such as the antenna positioning, how many satellites are used to determine a position and how long satellite information has been received for.
