Q

Which dynamic information would an Automatic Identification System (AIS) transmit every 2 to 10 seconds?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between static and dynamic AIS data • How often voyage-related vs dynamic data is updated in AIS • Meaning of course over ground (COG) vs identity details like name/call sign

💭 Think About

• Which of the options would logically need to be refreshed every few seconds as the vessel moves? • Which items are tied to the vessel’s identity and rarely change, versus those that can change constantly during a voyage? • If a ship alters its heading or speed, which of these pieces of information must AIS update quickly for collision avoidance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which items are fixed identity/static data (set once, rarely change). • Identify which item is directly related to the ship’s current motion over the earth’s surface. • Confirm from AIS basics that dynamic data is sent most frequently, typically every few seconds, for safe navigation.
