AIS Plugin

Introduction

The AIS feature displays a table containing the most recent information about vessels, base-stations and aids-to-navigation, based on messages received via AIS Demodulators.

The AIS feature can draw corresponding objects on the Map.

Interface

Vessels Table

The vessels table displays the current status for each vessel, base station or aid-to-navigation, based on the latest received messages, aggregated from all AIS Demodulators.

MMSI - The Maritime Mobile Service Identity number of the vessel or base station. Double clicking on this column will search for the MMSI on VesselFinder.
Type - Vessel, Base station or Aid-to-Navigation.
Lat - Latitude in degrees. East positive. Double clicking on this column will center the map on this object.
Lon - Longitude in degrees. West positive. Double clicking on this column will center the map on this object.
Course - Course over ground in degrees.
Speed - Speed over ground in knots.
Heading - Heading in degrees (Heading is the direction the vessel is facing, whereas course is the direction it is moving in).
Status - Status of the vessel (E.g. Underway using engine, At anchor).
IMO - International Maritime Organization (IMO) number which uniquely identifies a ship. Double clicking on this column will search for the IMO on https://www.vesselfinder.com/
Name - Name of the vessel. Double clicking on this column will search for the name on https://www.vesselfinder.com/
Callsign - Callsign of the vessel.
Ship Type - Type of ship (E.g. Passenger ship, Cargo ship, Tanker) and activity (Fishing, Towing, Sailing).
Destination - Destination the vessel is travelling to. Double clicking on this column will search for this location on the map on this object.

Right clicking on the table header allows you to select which columns to show. The columns can be reorderd by left clicking and dragging the column header.

Map

The AIS feature can plot ships, base stations and aids-to-navigation on the Map. To use, simply open a Map feature and the AIS plugin will display objects based upon the messages it receives from that point. Selecting an AIS item on the map will display a text bubble containing information from the above table. To centre the map on an item in the table, double click in the Lat or Lon columns.
