SUBJECT:

AIS ERRONEOUS TRANSMISSIONS

It has become evident that a small number of the ACR/Nauticast AIS systems transmit a

default MMSI (1193046). This has the potential, in certain circumstances, to cause 'target

swap' with a possible consequence that more than one vessel can appear as a single

vessel.

According to ACR/Nauticast Technical Information, there are two potential causes of the

problem:

1. The vessel's MMSI may not have been entered at installation.

2. The system memory reverts to default value when external power is lost and the

internal memory backup battery becomes discharged.

The ACR / Nauticast has taken substantial steps to rectify the problem. The Technical

Information attached details the actions required to be undertaken by the vessels

equipped with such instrument, at the first suitable opportunity.

It is possible that the same problem exists on AIS equipment with the following trade

names, to which the attached Technical Information also applies:

- Raytheon Marine RM808 AIS

- ACR Global Watch UAIS

- Marine Technologies Bridgemate AIS
