AIS Environmental Health Protection Solution
AIS Environmental Health Protection Solution is based on
SiiTech Web VTS product and represents an efficient tool to protect the environment.
“The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are responsible
for more than 100 tons per day of smog- and particulate-forming
nitrogen oxides (NOX) – more than the daily emissions from all 6
million cars in the region,” according to William A. Burke,
chairman of the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
The largest amount of emissions (53%) is generated by ships
approaching the port. A vessel speed reduction program
requesting vessels to slow from 20-25 knots to 12 knots at a
distance 20 nautical miles from port could reduce emissions from
vessels up to 80%.
The Internet-based online AIS vessel traffic
monitoring system
assists competent authorities to:
- Detect and identify AIS equipped
vessels at the earliest stage of arriving
- Track AIS
targets
- Create a speed limited zone
- Generate an automatic alarm when a vessel violates a speed limit
in the zone
- Send a speed violation automatic email notification
- Automatically send an AIS warning message to a vessel
- Generate speed violation reports
- Investigate violations (the unlimited history replay function)
The system supports
Virtual Earth, Google, MapPoint maps, and BSB nautical charts.
