1.3 Setting the Voyage Data
Most of the data that are sent by the own AIS system for the purpose of target data display on other
ships (own AIS data) are generated automatically by the system (e.g. identification data, position etc.).
However, some items of information (e.g. ship's draught, cargo, destination, ETA) have to be defined by
the operator.
Select Settings > AIS > Voyage Data to enter the tab.
Check and adjust the displayed information as required
for your voyage.
DEST
Destination of this voyage
ETA
Estimated time of arrival at the specified destination
Persons on Board
The number of persons on board.
STATE
Navigational state as specified in the rules. For example "Under Way unsing Engine", "At Anchor" etc.
CARGO
Prescribed information about the cargo as specified in the rules. For example "None", "Hazardous Goods
Class A" etc. The available choice depends on the type of ship set in the basic configuration of the Plat-
inum system. In case the present ship is a passenger vessel, this group would be named Passenger
instead of Cargo.
In the fields State and Cargo it is only possible to choose between specified entries. This is done
in the list which appears after clicking on the field concerned. As long as the cursor is situated on
the field State or Cargo, a small window appears below this field, containing information about the
entry.
The following data must be entered at the beginning of every voyage, and must
(if necessary) be updated during the voyage to ensure correct and up-to-date
information to be sent to other ships.
