14.1 What is AIS?
AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a system that continuously transmits the iden-
tification and position of your ship to AIS-equipped ships within VHF range. All such
ships also receive data from other AIS-equipped ships and display their positions and
other relevant information. The AIS broadcasts this information over a VHF transceiv-
er. The information is as shown below.
