Description
IMO Model Course 1.34 – Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), 2019 Edition is the official IMO publication for training in the use of Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) in maritime navigation and safety. The publication has been developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to support international training and competence development in modern navigation systems.
AIS is a key tool for identification, monitoring and information exchange between vessels and land-based maritime services. The system contributes to increased situational awareness, improved traffic safety and reduced risk of collisions at sea.
The publication provides detailed guidance on how AIS works, what data is transmitted and how the information is used in practical navigation and traffic monitoring. The manual also describes the limitations of AIS and important issues related to the correct use of the system under different operational conditions.
The IMO Model Course 1.34 is used by maritime educational institutions, course providers, navigators and shipping companies working with training in modern navigation and maritime safety. The publication is relevant for ship officers, VTS operators and other personnel working with surveillance and navigation systems.
The 2019 edition serves as both a training manual and practical reference work for the use of AIS on board vessels in international traffic. The manual supports standardized maritime training and contributes to the safe and efficient use of electronic navigation systems.
