3.17 Inland AIS

The Oceansat transceiver supports both standard 'high seas' operation and 'Inland AIS' operation. Inland AIS
is an extension of AIS intended for use on board vessels navigating Inland waterways.
During installation the transceiver will be configured appropriately for either high seas or inland operation.
When the transceiver is configured for inland operation the 'IL' icon will be displayed on the status bar (see
section 3.3.1). Information on enabling / disabling inland AIS mode along with additional configuration required
for inland operation can be found in section 4.9.
3.17.1 Own vessel and voyage data display in Inland AIS mode
Additional own vessel and voyage related data is displayed on the main operating screens in inland AIS mode.
The following additional information is displayed on the own vessel data screen (as described in section 3.6):
● Blue sign status is displayed as either 'Yes' (the sign is set), 'No' (the sign is not set) or 'not available'
when the blue sign switch is not installed. If a blue sign switch is installed it should be manually
switched to the appropriate setting during navigation (see section 3.17.4).
● The IMO number is set to '0' or '0000000' when operating in inland AIS mode.
● The call sign is replaced with the ATIS code when operating in inland AIS mode.
● The dimensions of the vessel are set to the maximum rectangular size of the convoy when operating
in inland AIS mode.
● The destination is displayed as a UN location code and ERI terminal code.
● The ENI (unique European Vessel Identification Number) for the vessel is shown.
● The ship (or combination type) is shown using an ERI classification code. A table of ERI codes is
provided in section 8 for reference.
● The load status of the vessel is displayed as 'Loaded' or 'Unloaded'.
● The number of crew, passengers and other shipboard personnel will be displayed.
