The AIS system, invented in Sweden, has been developed to include much more than the anti-collision aid that was originally thought of. Today, there are different types of AIS to mark buoys and lighthouses, AIS in rescue helicopters and aircraft, and several new areas of use is being developed.
A new area is the use of AIS as an emergency transmitter to quickly locate a man overboard or to quicker locate a life raft with people in need. This type of equipment is already on the market, but there have been no simple systems for ships and boats to be warned that someone had fallen overboard. True Heading AB therefore launches AIS CTRX GRAPHENE MOBWATCH, which is the first AIS transponder on the market that has this built-in and integrated into the unit. Even earlier AIS products in the GRAPHENE series can be upgraded to equivalent performance. The product is packaged with Seapilot, which clearly shows where the object is in relation to own location.
"We are pleased to once again be able to present a new product with unique functionality within the AIS area, which also greatly increases maritime safety for its users," says Anders Bergström, CEO of True Heading AB.
