AIS Antenna on the Roof of the Institute of Naval Architecture – A Student Project in the Gulf of Gdańsk

Students from the Strength and Risk Student Club (WiR) have installed an AIS (Automatic Identification System) antenna on the roof of the Institute of Naval Architecture, with support from specialists at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology. The antenna will serve the purpose of automatically identifying vessels and has a range covering the entire Gulf of Gdańsk (25 nautical miles).

"The AIS (Automatic Identification System) is used for the automatic identification of vessels and is mandatory on all ships that transmit signals via short-range (VHF) radio waves," emphasised Mateusz Gutkowski, President of the WiR student club.

The AIS receiver provides key data, including:

  • MMSI number (a unique vessel identifier),

  • vessel name,

  • position (latitude and longitude),

  • course over ground (COG),

The biggest student celebration of the year is just around the corner – Technikalia.25 is coming!
