Automatic Identification
System (AIS)
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is used to automatically transmit and receive vessel information. It was designed as a safety tool for vessel collision avoidance for ocean going ships and boats. All ships over a certain tonnage are expected to maintain a functional AIS that broadcasts at all times.
