The Tianjin Navigation Mark Office of the Beihai Navigation Support Center of the Ministry of Transport is the location of the AIS National Center, where AIS data from coastal and inland vessels across the country is integrated, stored, and applied.
Chen Guangtong, the head of the Sea Area Navigation Center at the Tianjin Navigation Mark Office of the Beihai Navigation Support Center of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that AIS, also known as Automatic Ship Identification System, is a comprehensive navigation system and equipment that enables remote identification of ship identity, dynamic monitoring of navigation status, and real-time transmission of navigation information. It sends dynamic and static information such as ship identification code, location, direction, captain, ship width, type, draft, and cargo type to other ships and coastal stations through a shipborne station operating in the very high frequency (VHF) maritime communication frequency band, thereby achieving data transmission and information exchange between ships and between ships and shore, promoting navigation safety and improving shipping traffic efficiency.
