Maritime AIS

AIS Compliance for all Vessels – Enhancing Safety

The Automatic Identification System(AIS) is an innovative technology used in maritime navigation to identify & locate the vessel in real-time.  AIS provides critical data, which includes the vessel’s position, speed, and other navigational information to nearby vessels and coastal & port surveillance systems to ensure smooth & safe maritime operations worldwide.

How is AIS important in vessel operations?

AIS plays a critical role in vessel operations and safety, including:

  • Preventing Collisions: By receiving real-time vessel tracking, AIS helps vessels avoid accidents in busy waterways.
  • Enhancing situation awareness: Captain & port operators’ authority can monitor the ship movements, which helps to improve decision making.
  •  Supporting search & Rescue (SAR): AIS data helps in locating suffering vessels quickly.
  • Ensuring safety & compliance: Many authorities require AIS to meet international maritime standards.
