| AIS @ NAMPORT.COM |
What is AIS? |
| AIS is initially intended to help ships avoid collisions, as well as assisting port authorities to better control sea traffic. AIS transponders on board vessels include a GPS (Global Po-sitioning System)
receiver, which collects position and movement details. It includes also a VHF transmitter, which transmits periodically this information on two VHF channels (frequencies 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz – old VHF channels
87 & 88) and make this data available to the public domain. Other vessels or base stations are able to receive this information, process it using special software and display vessels locations on a chart. |
How are the positions of the vessels recorded? |
| The system is based on AIS (Automatic Identification System). As from December 2004, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires all vessels over 299GT to carry AIS transponder on board, which
transmits their position, speed and course, among some other static information, such as vessel’s name, dimensions and voyage details. |
How can I access the real-time port map? |
| Go to www.namport.com/ais.html or download the app from one the following mobile device stores. |
