LRI – AIS Long-Range Interrogation
The long-range interrogation of the AIS unit is accomplished
through the use of two sentences. The pair of interrogation sen-
tence formatters, a LRI sentence followed by a LRF sentence, pro-
vides the information needed by a universal AIS unit to determine
if it should construct and provide the reply sentences (LRF, LR1, LR2,
and LR3).

OSD – Own ship data
Heading, course, speed, set and drift summary. Useful for, but not
