🔍 Key Concepts

• AIS (Automatic Identification System) primary functions under SOLAS and Navigation Rules • Difference between information tools (like AIS) and decision-making tools (like radar plotting/ARPA) • How AIS is used on the bridge to support situational awareness

💭 Think About

• Which of these choices describes something that AIS directly provides from its transmitted data, and which describes something that normally requires calculation or plotting? • Think about how AIS information actually appears on an ECDIS or AIS display: what data do you see, and what do you still use radar or ARPA for? • Ask yourself: which option describes a task that must still be verified or obtained by other sensors (e.g., radar, visual bearings, ARPA) rather than relying on AIS alone?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options clearly match the idea of identity and basic voyage data (MMSI, name, position, course, speed). • Identify which options match the concept of supporting situational awareness (knowing who is around you and roughly what they are doing). • Check which single option describes relying on AIS for something that COLREGS and good seamanship say should still be based on radar/visual observations, not AIS alone.
