Yacht-AIS Standard

Yacht - AIS Standard is the solution for those who want to see other vessels with AIS on there PC screen.

This version receives AIS-data from commercial ships, pleasure craft and coast radio stations equipped with AIS and display these data on your laptop or onboard PC. All equipped ships are shown on a display similar to a radar screen (North Up or Course Up) with adjustable range with your own vessel in the middle. In small ranges, vessels are displayed with their true outline.

Yacht-AIS Standard decodes AIS messages from commercial SOLAS ships, pleasure craft, AIS Basestations and Aids to Navigation (Messages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 18, 19, 21, 24A/B).

The following information are available over AIS:

• MMSI
• Name
• Callsign
• Position
• Course over ground
• Speed over ground
• Heading
• Rate of Turn
• Type of Ship
• Navigational Status
• Destination / ETA

For collision avoidance purposes Yacht-AIS Standard calculates (together with GPS data from own vessel):

• CPA (Closest Point of Approach)
• tCPA (Time to Closest Point of Approach)
• true Bearing to target
• Distance to target

Yacht-AIS Standard allows the user to define alarms on CPA, tCPA, lost target and guard range. To make collision avoidance more easy, Yacht-AIS Professional can predict the situation at the moment of the tCPA - so you can see where your avoiding action will take you and where other vessels will be at that time.
