Dynamic information is derived from interfaces with the ship’s GPS and other sensors.
Static information is programmed into the unit at commissioning. Voyage-related data is
entered manually by the master through a password-protected routine. Safety messages
can be inserted at any time by the ship or shore station.
The static and voyage-related data are transmitted every six minutes, when amended or
on request (for instance, when interrogated by a Vessel Traffic System operator). Safety
messages are sent as needed. The update rates for dynamic information will depend on
the ship’s status and speed, according to the following schedule:
Dynamic information schedule
At anchor 3 minutes
0-14 knots 10 seconds
0-14 knots and changing course 3.3 seconds
14-23 knots 6 seconds
14-23 knots and changing course 2 seconds
23+ knots 2 seconds
23+ knots and changing course 2 seconds
he AIS specifications also allow for insertion of brief binary messages from ships or
shore stations. Such messages might include notices to mariners, navigational warnings,
tides and currents, weather forecasts, SAR communications and ship-specific instructions
from a VTS operator. The AIS standard also includes formats for transmission of
differential GPS error correction data. This can provide valuable redundancy to existing
beacon DGPS systems in critical navigation areas.
