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 an d 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 200 0 reports per minute and IEC require s 4500 reports on two channels). The VHF channels 87B and 88B are commonly used and in addition there are local AIS freq uencies. 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-fitted AtoN broadcasts its identification, type of operation, location, displacement, etc. at 3 min intervals or at a reporting rate designated by the Administration authorities.

Aids to Navigation

Transponder

Own ship

(AtoN)

Static and Dynamic information incl. MMSI, Name, POSN, HDG, COG, SOG

VTS Center transmits TDMA CH management message including code, type, position, etc. of buoys every 3 min, and the AtoN broadcasts these messages for ships.

VTS center

The VTS center transmits a command on frequency assignment, slots, report rate, VHF output power, channel spacing, etc. (Assigned mode)

Transponder

Interrogation and Response

Ship 1

viii

All ships broadcast Static and Dynamic information (autonomous and continuous mode). If OS wants to know information about ship 1, OS shall send an interrogation in polling mode; then ship 1 will transmit her response on the same VHF channel without operator intervention.

AIS system

Not all ships carry AIS

The Officer of the W atch (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 bea r in mind that information provided by AIS may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in their vicinity.

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 fast 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 ow n. Poorly configured or improperly calibrated sensors might lead to incorrect information be ing transmitted. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct and up to date.

The startup screen displays the program version num ber and the results of the ROM, RAM and backup data test, showing OK or “NG” (No Good) as t he result. If “NG” (No Good) appears for any of the check results, try resetting the power to restore normal operation. If that does not work, contact your dealer for advice. After the startup test is completed the plotter display appears, showing the messages “NO OWN SHIP POSITION AVAILABLE.” and “NOW INITIALIZING.” These messages mean that position data has not yet arrived and the transponder is initializing itself, respectively. When both messages disappear the equipment is ready for use. If the message “ENTER MMSI!” appears, the vessel’s MMSI has not been registered in the equipm ent . Enter MMSI.

If there is no response from the transponder unit or vessel’s MMSI is not registered in the equipment, the message “COMMUNICATION ERROR” appears on the screen. Press any key to erase the message. Check if the transponder unit is powered. Also check the connection between the monitor unit and the transponder unit.

1. OPERATION

The FA-150 should be powered while underway or at anchor. The master may switch off the AIS if he believes that the continual operation of the AIS might compromise the safety or security of his ship. The AIS should be restarted once the source of danger has disappeared.

The equipment transmits own ship static data within t wo m inutes of start-up and it is transmitted at six-minute intervals. 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 accuracy, SOG, COG, rate of turn, heading, etc. Dynamic data is transmitted every 2 s to 3 min depending on ship’s speed, course change. Voyage-related data, such as ship’s draft, hazardous cargo, destination and estimated time of arrival are transmitted at six-minute interva ls.

The FA-150 starts receiving data from AIS-equipped ships as soon as it is turned on, and those ships’ location on the plotter display is shown with the AIS symbol. (To learn more about the plotter display, see paragraph 1.7.) With connection of a radar or ECDIS, the AIS target symbols may be overlaid on the radar or ECDIS.

Note 1: If no navigation sensor is installed or a sensor such as a gyrocompass

has failed, the AIS automatically transmits “not available” data.

Note 2:

The reporting intervals are as f ollows:

1.8 Messages

You may send and receive messages via the VHF link, to a specified destination (MMSI) or all 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 the indicat ion “MESSAGE” appears. The contents of the message may be viewed on the receive message log.

1.9 Regional Operating Channels

AIS operates primarily on two dedicated VHF channels, CH 20 87 and CH2088. Where these channels are not available region ally, 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

1.9.2.

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

• Frequency bandwidth: 25 kHz

• Tx/Rx mode: Tx/Rx

About registering areas

• AIS and DSC messages registered within last two hours cannot be edited.

• An item labeled HIGH SEA cannot be registered. (“HIGH SEA” are data used

for international waters not controlled by shore-based AIS.)

• If two areas overlap one another the older data is deleted.

• Data older than five weeks is deleted.

• Area data is deleted when it is more than 500 miles from the area for which it

was registered.

Parts List

This equipment contains complex modules in which f ault diagnosis and repair down to component level are not practical (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1). Only some discrete components are used. FURUNO Electric Co., Ltd. believes identifying these components is of no value for shipboard maintenance; therefore, they are not listed in the manual. Major modules can be located on the parts location photo on page AP-4 and AP-5.
