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.
