SYSTEM OVERVIEW
System overview
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) was originally developed to aid the Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) by use of a VHF transponder working on Digital Selective Call (DSC) at VHF CH70,
and is still in use along the UK coastal areas and others. Some time later the IMO developed a
Universal AIS using the new sophisticated technology called Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) based on a VHF Data Link (VDL).
The system operates in three modes – autonomous (continuous operation in all areas), assigned
(data transmission interval remotely controlled by authority in traffic monitoring service) and polled
(in response to interrogation from a ship or authority). It is synchronized with GPS time to avoid
conflict among multiple users (IMO minimum 2000 reports per minute and IEC requires 4500 reports on two channels). The VHF channels 87B and 88B are commonly used and in addition there
are local AIS frequencies. Shipborne AIS transponders exchange various data as specified by the
IMO and ITU on either frequency automatically set up by the frequency management telecommand received by the DSC receiver on ship.

AIS system
Not all ships carry AIS
The Officer of the Watch (OOW) should always be aware that other ships, and in particular leisure
craft, fishing boats and warships, and some coastal shore stations (including Vessel Traffic Service centers) might not be fitted with AIS.
The OOW should also be aware that AIS fitted on other ships as a mandatory carriage requirement might be switched off by the master if its use might compromise the security of the vessel.
Thus, users are therefore cautioned to always bear in mind that information provided by AIS may
not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in their vicinity.
iii
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Use of AIS in collision avoidance
As an anti-collision aid, the AIS has the following advantages over radar:
• Information provided in near real-time
• Capable of instant presentation of target course alterations
• Not subject to target swap
• Not subject to target loss in clutter
• Not subject to target loss due to abrupt maneuvers
• Able to “detect” ships within VHF/FM coverage, including in some circumstances, around bends
and behind islands.
When using the AIS for anti-collision purposes it is important to remember that the AIS is an additional source of navigation information. It does not replace other navigational systems. The AIS
may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in its vicinity.
The use of the AIS does not negate the responsibility of the OOW to comply with all collision regulation requirements, especially the maintaining of a proper look-out. The prudent navigator uses
all aids available to navigate the ship.
Erroneous information
Erroneous information implies a risk to other ships as well as your own. Poorly configured or improperly calibrated sensors might lead to incorrect information being transmitted. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct and up to date.

Features
The FA-170 is a universal AIS (Automatic Identification System) for open sea and inland
waterways, capable of exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or
coastal stations.
It complies with IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, IMO MSC.302(87), A.694, ITU-R M.1371-5 and DSC
ITU-R M.825. It also complies with IEC 61924-2, IEC 61993-2 (Type testing standard) and IEC
60945 Ed. 4 (EMC and environmental conditions).
The FA-170 consists of VHF and GPS antennas, a transponder unit, a monitor unit, and several
associated units. The transponder contains a VHF transmitter, two TDMA receivers on two parallel
VHF channels, a DSC channel 70 receiver, interface, communication processor, and internal GPS
receiver. The internal GPS is a 12-channel all-in-view receiver with a differential capability, and
provides UTC reference for system synchronization to eliminate clash among multiple users. It
also gives position, COG and SOG when the external GPS fails.
The main features are:
• Safety of navigation by automatically exchanging navigational data between ships and between
ship and coast
• Static data:
- MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity)
- IMO number (where available)
- Call sign & name
- Length and beam
- Type of ship
- Location of position-fixing antenna on the ship
vii
FOREWORD
• Dynamic data:
- Ship’s position with accuracy indication and integrity status
- Universal Time Coordinated (UTC)
- Course over ground (COG)
- Speed over ground (SOG)
- Heading
- Rate of turn (ROT) where available
• Voyage-related data
- Ship’s draught
- Navigational Status (manual input)
- Hazardous cargo (type)
- Destination and ETA (at master’s discretion)
• Short safety-related messages, free messages
• LCD panel satisfies the IMO minimum requirements plus simple plotting modes
• Interfaces for radar, ECDIS, PC for future networking expansion
• GPS/VHF combined antenna for easy installation available
• Built-in GPS receiver for UTC synchronization and backup position-fixing device
• The Inland AIS feature is based on CCNR (Vessel Tracking and Tracing Standard for Inland
Navigation). Inland AIS receives and sends SOLAS AIS information, and interfaces automatic
data input such as blue sign, draught (in centimeters), air draught (height from waterline), hazardous cargo blue cone indication, euro ship identifier and inland ship type. Further, the inland
AIS sends ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) to lock, bridge, terminal, etc. and displays response
as RTA (Requested Time of Arrival) from the lock, bridge or terminal. Information receivable
from land stations include EMMA warning, water level data, etc.

The equipment transmits own ship static data within two minutes of start-up and it is
transmitted at six-minute intervals thereafter. Static data includes MMSI number, IMO
number, call sign, ship name, ship length and width, ship type and GPS antenna position.
In addition to static data, ship’s dynamic data is also transmitted. This data includes
position with quality indication, SOG, COG, rate of turn, heading, etc. Dynamic data is
transmitted every 2 seconds to 3 minutes depending on ship’s speed and course
change. Voyage-related data, such as ship’s draught, hazardous cargo, destination
and estimated time of arrival, are also transmitted at six-minute intervals.

Messages
You may send and receive messages via VHF channels, to a specified MMSI or all
AIS-equipped ships in the area. Messages can be sent to warn of safety of navigation;
for example, an iceberg sighted. Routine messages are also permitted.
Short safety-related messages are only an additional means to broadcast safety information. They do not remove the requirements of the GMDSS.
When a message is received, the equipment beeps and pop up appears, indicating
the type of message received.
Sent messages are stored in the [MSG BOX] (message box) under the [OUTBOX] tab.
Received messages are stored in the [MSG BOX] under the [INBOX] tab.
The FA-170 can store up to 20 transmitted and up to 20 received messages. When
the [INBOX] or [OUTBOX] becomes full, the oldest message in the box is automatically deleted to make room for the latest.

Regional Operating Channels
AIS operates primarily on two dedicated VHF channels, CH 2087 and CH2088. Where
these channels are not available regionally, the AIS is capable of being automatically
switched to designated alternate channels by means of a message from a shore facility. Where no shore based AIS or GMDSS sea area A1 station is in place, the AIS
should be switched manually as in paragraph 1.10.2.
A regional operating area is set with the procedure shown below. The most recent
eight areas are memorized.
• Automatic setting of VHF DSC (channel 70) from shore-based AIS.
• Automatic setting by AIS message from shore-based AIS.
• Setting by shipboard system such as ECDIS.
• Manual setting
The default area is as follows:
• Tx power: 12.5 W
• Channel no. 2087, 2088
• Tx/Rx mode: Tx/Rx

INLAND AIS OPERATION
This section provides the operating procedures for the Inland AIS feature, which allows use of the AIS transponder on inland waterways or the open sea. Only those procedures that are different from the Class A AIS transponder are presented.
Ships with Inland AIS transponders on board autonomously determine their actual position using the Global Positioning System (GPS), which is part of the AIS transponder. Furthermore they broadcast their ID and position to other ships over a distance of
10 to 30 kilometers (depending on the geographical environment). Other ships in the
area receive this information and are able to display their own position and that of other ships. Inland AIS helps the skipper in his direct nautical decisions, especially in critical situations, like the approach of a bend or a constriction.
Further, authorities have the possibility to allow electronic submission of cargo lists
e.g. for transports of dangerous cargo. The standard for “Electronic Reporting” (ERI)
allows the digital, language independent submission of cargo or passenger reports
from ships or agencies to authorities. In combination with electronic data exchange
between the authorities of different countries this results in less reporting for the skippers. On the other hand all cargo information is available to authorities in case of an
accident.
