AIS - Automatic Identification System is a way of identifying a vessel's position, course, Speed and freight through marine VHF digital information. Marine & Ship AIS is particularly useful in identifying targets that may be obscured by poor visibility, or behind larger targets like low island and large ships that marine radar can't penetrate.

AIS reception is freely available to anyone with an AIS receiver! Contact CH Smith Marine to see what you need to have Ship AIS information on your vessel now.
