D. Dynamic information
This data is vital since it is relative to the "real time" movement of the boat.
The dynamic information sent by AIS signals is as follows:
MMSI :
ROT (Rate Of Turn):
Navigation status:
Latitude:
Longitude::
SOG (Speed Over Ground)
COG (Course Over Ground):
True Heading (Gyro Compass):
UTC Time for Creation of a Report:
The refreshment time for this information may range from a few minutes to two seconds,
depending on the speed and manoeuvre being undertaken by the boat.
E. Static information
Every six minutes, additional static information is sent relative to the boat and its
current journey; for example, the name of the vessel, the onboard GPS position,
the destination port, etc.
F. Dynamic and static AIS information
All the static and dynamic data provides detailed knowledge of the data of
nearby ships.
