| AIS is a system that ships use to communicate
their positions to each other as part of the global maritime safety
system. From December 2004, all ships over 300 tons must carry an AIS
system which broadcasts information about the ship to any suitably
equipped receiver.AIS uses very short bursts of high speed data on two
VHF channels in the marine band. The two frequencies used are 161.975
(Marine ch 87) and 162.025 (ch 88) MHz. Ships broadcast their identity,
position, course, speed and destination so that other ships can take
account of their movements. Using a low cost radio scanner tuned to one
or other of these channels and ShipPlotter software running on
your PC, you will be able to see a radar-like real-time map of all the
large ships manoeuvring in your area together with information about
their destination, estimated time of arrival and even the dimensions of
each vessel. Courtesy of www.landsendweather.co.uk |
