AISleverandør

AISleverandør is a Danish term for a supplier or provider of Automatic Identification System (AIS) equipment and related services. AISleverandører design, manufacture, install and maintain AIS hardware and software, serving maritime operators, ports, and shore-based services. Core offerings typically include AIS transceivers for ships (Class A and Class B), AIS receivers, land-based AIS base stations, antennas, cabling and power supplies, as well as software for data management, display, and integration with other systems such as ECDIS, radar, and vessel traffic management.

AIS is a system that enables ships and coastal authorities to exchange real-time information to enhance safety and efficiency at sea. Information broadcasted by AIS includes vessel identity, position, course, speed, navigational status, destination and estimated time of arrival. The technology operates on marine VHF frequencies and uses standardized messages, with compliance often aligned to ITU-R M.1371 and SOLAS-related requirements. Class A equipment is mandatory for most SOLAS vessels, while Class B is available for smaller ships and non-SOLAS applications.

Market and applications: AISsuppliers serve shipowners, operators, ports, and coastal authorities. In addition to hardware, they provide installation, commissioning, maintenance, and integration services, as well as data services, monitoring/workflow software, and cybersecurity considerations. AIS data is used for vessel tracking, collision avoidance, port operations, search and rescue, and maritime analytics. The field continues to evolve with greater emphasis on remote monitoring, data fusion with other sensors, and secure data distribution.
