A
new
IMO
requirement
requires
most
commercial
vessels
to
carry
an
AIS
transponder
to
transmit
the
vessel
position,
ID
and
other
details.
Ideal as a standalone system for vessels fitted with ECDIS systems that want visual AIS information without compromising ECDIS approval status. |

AIS
was
originally
designed
to
fulfil
a
need
for
vessels
to
know
the
location
and
navigational
parameters
of
other
vessels
for
collision
avoidance.
The transponder itself only comes with a small display which typically gives numeric details of other vessels identification, position, course and heading. seaPro AIS enables this data to be shown visually at low cost. AIS is now finding additional uses in security and commercial applications. |

The legal display requirements for AIS are just a minimal text display and do very little to improve the safety of vessels from the bridge officers perspective. Where AIS becomes beneficial to collision avoidance is when the positions are plotted on an electronic charting system such as seaPro. For smaller vessels, the AIS module in conjunction with a lower cost receive only AIS unit, gives the smaller vessel vital information about larger vessel movements. Options are available to act as network based station software. Available as an option for seaPro standard, plus and professional |
