How Seafarers learned to use the shipboard Automatic Identification System (AIS)

This report is the first of a series from the Seafarers International Research Centre which will focus upon seafarer training in relation to the introduction of shipboard technology. The report indicates the levels of errors in the use of AIS and how these levels varied over time. It also considers the extent to which AIS appears to encourage the ìimproperî use of VHF radio for
collision avoidance and the implications of this for training.
