SHIP TO EARTH INFORMATION.
In coastal waters, local authorities can set up an AIS network to monitor boat traffic through
their waters.
These Base Stations can simply monitor AIS information in VHF and can also send messages to
AIS transponders installed on ships. The data they can obtain includes name and license plate of
the ship, destination, ETA and cargo information. In addition, these base stations emit messages
with weather and tide information.
AIS systems record and record all received information so that it can subsequently be
reproduced in the event of an accident. The AIS is used in rescue operations, allowing to
coordinate and monitor the movements of the ship.
