AIS getting started
1. What is AIS?
AIS is an Automatic Identification System. It has been introduced to improve the safety of navigation
by assisting in the efficient operation of ship to ship, ship reporting and VTS applications. The system
should enable operators to obtain information from the ship automatically, requiring a minimum of
involvement of ship’s personnel, and should have a high level of availability.
Connecting to the chart plotter an AIS receiver, vessels with AIS transponder within VHF range are
displayed on screen giving he skipper or navigator a visual interpretation of the data of nearby vessels.
This improves safety, and specifically for collision avoidance reasons.
