The SeaCAS suite of SafePassage AIS receiver products - the 300, 150 and 100 - are designed to assist you in safely navigating through congested shipping lanes and adverse weather conditions, helping you avoid collisions. Each product uses an AIS receiver to provide you with real-time information about all nearby commercial and AIS-equipped ships. You'll know a ship's:

• Type, size, course, speed.
• Their Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and the Time of Closest Point of Approach (TCPA).
• Name and call sign to hail other ships on VHF in case of an impending collision.

If you are on a collision course, the SeaCAS SafePassage gives you the information and response time you need to make good decisions.

What is AIS technology used for?
AIS is used by ship operators to provide the highest level of navigational safety. It is also used by some ports to enhance security. AIS uses a shipboard VHF broadcast system to transmit and receive information about other ships, safety messages, environmental conditions and the status of aids-to-navigation (buoys).

As of January 1, 2005, nearly every commercial ship over 65 feet in length in U.S. waters is required to send out identification and GPS information.

How does AIS work?
Static and dynamic navigational data is sent via VHF from ship to ship. Thanks to GPS technology, this data can include a ship's position. Other information broadcast by AIS is electronically obtained from a ship's Gyro Compass.
