Automatic Identification System

AIS provides automated AIS

communication from ‘ship-to-ship’ and

‘ship-to-shore’, transmitting and

receiving vessel, voyage and safety

wide scale installation of AIS for the first time

European Union 2010 • All EU fishing vessels over 52ft now have to have Class A

USA 2015 • Introduction of US AIS Mandate: All motorised vessels over 65ft using

US inland waterways to have AIS by March 2016

Creating Operational Value from Mandated

Technology

Looking Beyond Location Awareness

13 McMurdo AIS – Mandate and Operational Value

• AIS Mandate will greatly improve

inland waterways location awareness

• Building on that investment with the

inclusion of AIS MOB will bring equal

benefits from ‘Localised’ rescue

capabilities

• Commercial workboat adoption of AIS

MOB is growing in Europe and

already an accepted SAR technology

in the US

What is AIS MOB?

14

• Provide immediate notification to the

parent or neighbouring vessels

• Provide a means of location and tracking

• AIS MOB alerts a 4 mile radius to your

man overboard incident
