The installation and setup of the Automatic Identification System (AIS) are essential for ensuring maritime safety, as it helps vessels avoid collisions and facilitates efficient navigation. Installation includes connecting the AIS to the vessel’s navigation and communication systems, ensuring proper signal reception, and testing the system for data accuracy. The setup ensures that the AIS is transmitting the vessel’s position, speed, and course, as well as receiving information from nearby vessels. A well-configured AIS system improves operational safety, reduces risk, and helps the vessel comply with international maritime regulations.
