| 摘要： | Another way that communications between commercial and recreational vessels has improved dramatically is by the increasing frequency of voluntary carriage of AIS transponders (whether Class A, B or the new enhanced B+) by recreational vessels. The first part of communicating begins with the simple awareness of each other's presence and, with the use of AIS, this is expedited and amplified. Rather than being just a small-to-tiny bobbing, indistinct object at sea, which mariners may not be able to acquire visually or on radar, an AIS-equipped motor yacht, sport fisherman or sailboat is readily apparent to other AIS-equipped vessels. The vessel now has a name "visible" from miles away and can therefore be accurately targeted with a directed call on VHF-FM marine radio to figure out intentions and make safe passage arrangements, particularly with ships and tugs with tows. Attempting to call the random "white sailboat about five miles east of Barnegat Inlet" was al- most always a fool's errand and remains so today. AIS, when carried, has changed that equation. |
