Navigation systems

We look after hundreds of visual and electronic aids to navigation (AtoNs) around the Australian coastline.

Our systems for maritime safety and distress provides advance warning about possible dangers in maritime areas, including changes in weather, and connects you with satellite and radio systems to call for help. 

You can carry the electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) to meet the chart carriage requirement of the International Convention of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

We manage networks of tracking and reporting systems which keep ships on course and contribute to the safety of life at sea.

The automatic identification system (AIS) is a navigation system which reduces the risk of collisions at sea.
