AIS uses digital radio signals to broadcast information about the vessel to other ships and shore based stations via dedicated VHF frequencies in the maritime band. AIS will not replace radar because it is unable to detect landmasses and navigational beacons, but it can be used as a significant enhancement to currently available technology. This includes information such as time (UTC), ship's position, COG, SOG, heading, rate of turn and navigational status. · Dynamic reports These are ship's speed and status. · Messages These are alarms and safety messages. You should remember that not all vessels will transmit all of the information. Your AIS250 is a receive-only unit that will receive messages from vessels carrying Class A or Class B transceivers. A Class A transceiver transmits and receives AIS signals. It is currently compulsory on all commercial vessels that exceed 300 tons that also travel internationally The following information can be transmitted by a Class A AIS system: · Static data This includes information such as Ship's name, type, MMSI number, call sign, IMO number, length and beam and GPS antenna location. Voyage related data This includes information such as draft, cargo, destination, ETA and other relevant information. Dynamic data · · ) A s s alC el b ati us yb de revoc ton slessev lanoitae rceR( - B ssalC Class B transceiver's are suitable to vessels under 65 feet in length and is not compulsory. You should NOT assume that any class of AIS receiver is displaying all/any smaller vessels within your range. Note: All messages contain the Ships individual MMSI number for unique reference identification purposes along with the data in the following table. Not all the information in the following table is necessarily transmitted by every vessel. 5 d e tt i m s n a r t n o i t a m r o f n I no itamro fni tna tropmI :1 re tpahC SIA fo sessalC ?SIA si tahW A ss alC Data details Class A Class B Static Data Ship's name Type Call sign IMO number Length and beam GPS Antenna loctation Voyage Related Data Draft Cargo information Destination ETA Other relevant information Dynamic Data Time Ship's position COG SOG Gyro heading Rate of turn Navigational status Defined transmit rates for Class A vessels shown below are provided for reference purposes only. The frequency of messages received (using the AIS250 receive-only unit) will vary due to a number of factors including but not limited to such factors as antenna height, gain and signal interference. · Static information is either broadcast every 6 minutes, when data has been amended, or upon request. · Dynamic information is broadcast depending on speed and course alteration based on the following tables Normal reporting interval 3 Minutes 10 Seconds 3 1/3 Seconds 6 Seconds 2 seconds 2 Seconds 2 Seconds Ships Dynamic Conditions At anchor or moored 0-14 knots 0-14 knots and changing course 14-23 knots 14-23 knots and changing course Ship faster than 23 knots Dynamic Reports Ship's speed Ship's status Messages Alarm Safety D8966_1 Ship faster than 23 knots and changing course r e v i e c e R m e t s y S n o i t a ci f i t n e d I c i t a m o t u A e n i r a m y a R noitam rofni cimanyd dna citatS 6 Platforms condition Class B Shipborne mobile equipment not moving faster than 2 knots Class B Shipborne mobile equipment moving 2-14 knots Class B Shipborne mobile equipment moving 14-23 knots Class B Shipborne mobile equipment moving faster than 23 knots Search and Rescue aircraft (airborne mobile equipment) Aids to Navigation AIS base station Nominal reporting interval 3 Minutes 30 Seconds 15 Seconds 5 Seconds 10 Seconds 3 Minutes 10 Seconds Source of information for above tables 1-1, 1-2: (ITU recommendations technical document: ITU-R M.1371-1) 7 no itamro fni tna tropmI :1 re tpahC r e v i e c e R m e t s y S n o i t a ci f i t n e d I c i t a m o t u A e n i r a m y a R 8 Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine env ...
