Features

The FA-100 is a universal shipborne AIS (Automatic Identification System) capable of exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or coastal stations.

It complies with IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, A.694, ITU-R M.1371-1 and DSC ITU-R M.825.

It also complies with IEC 61993-2 (Type testing standard), IEC 60945 (EMC and environmental conditions).

The FA-100 consists of VHF/GPS antennas, a transponder unit and several associated units. The transponder contains a VHF transmitter, two TDMA receivers on two parallel

VHF channels, a DSC channel 70 receiver, interface, communication processor, LCD display, and internal GPS receiver. The internal GPS is a 12-channel all-in-view receiver with a differential capability, and provides UTC reference for system synchronization to eliminate clash among multiple users. It also gives position, COG and SOG when the external GPS fails.

The LCD panel displays all required information about static data, dynamic data, voyage-related data and short safety-related messages. The information and messages are automatically updated according to the ITU-R M.1371-1, e.g., static information every

6 min and on request, dynamic information every 10 s on ship faster than 3 kt and 3.3 s when changing course at 0-14 kt, etc.

iii

The main features are

• Safety of navigation by automatically exchanging navigational data between ships and between ship and coast.

• Static data:

- MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity)

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 and 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 2000 reports per minute and IEC requires 4500 reports on two channels). The VHF channels

87B and 88B are commonly used and in addition there are local AIS frequencies.

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. VHF transmit power is also set up for 12.5 W or

2 W automatically.

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

(AtoN)

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

Static and Dynamic information incl.

MMSI, Name, POSN, HDG, COG, SOG

Interrogation and Response

Own ship Ship 1

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

vii

Not all ships carry AIS

The Officer of the Watch (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 professional judgment of the master. Thus, users are therefore cautioned to always bear 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. Once again, remember that the AIS may not be giving a complete or correct

“picture” of shipping traffic in their 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 own. Poorly configured or calibrated sensors might lead to incorrect information being transmitted. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct and up to date. viii

PLOTTER display

The FA-100 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 two minutes 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 ever 2 s to 3 min depending on ship’s speed and course change, voyage-related data, such as ship draft, hazardous cargo, destination and estimated time of arrival, are transmitted at six-minute intervals.

1 OPERATION

The FA-100 starts receiving data from AIS-equipped ships as soon as it is turned on, and the 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.

1.11 Regional Operating Channels

AIS operates primarily on two dedicated VHF channels, CH 2087 and CH2088.

Where these channels are not available regionally, the AIS is capable of being automatically switching 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

1.11.2.

A regional operating area is set with the procedure 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

GBS - GNSS satellite fault detection

This message is used to support receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM). Given that a GPS receiver is tracking enough satellites to perform integrity checks of the positioning quality of the position solution, a message is needed to report the output of this process to other systems to advise the system user. With the RAIM in the GPS receiver, the receiver can isolate faults to individual satellites and not use them in its position and velocity calculations. Also, the GPS receiver can still track the satellite and easily judge when it is back within tolerance.

This message shall be used for reporting this RAIM information. To perform these integrity functions, six channels of satellite tracking are a minimum while all-in-view tracking is most desirable.
