ADVANTAGES OF AIS
1. Free up VHF channels.
2. AUTOMATIC AND FAST COMMUNICATION
3. SAFE NAVIGATION: AIS can also be installed on buoys, beacons
and navaids.This may also replace racons.
4. COLLISION AVOIDANCE: It can be used for tracking vessels
within areas with bad radar coverage like narrow channel bends,
shadow areas in archipelagoes and solid, continuous clutter caused
by heavy rains. It is also not affected by problems of target swapping
as in ARPA.
5. Search and Rescue Operations: It will allow SAR coordinators to
monitor the movements of all surface ships, aircraft and helicopters
involved in the rescue effort.
6. POLLUTION PREVENTION
