It’s easy to interface it with your AIS-compatible Electronic Chart System, and it clearly displays all sorts of critical navigational information. You’ll instantly see data like the name, MMSI, draft, length, and destination of all the ships in a radius of up to 30 miles. Even dynamic data such as a ship’s position, speed over ground and heading are shown. The information is real time because it’s refreshed constantly. GlobalWatch adds “intelligent”, dynamic data to your chart overlays. It even offers simple text messaging on a computer-like keypad, instead of the cum- bersome 9-key phone pad found on other AIS units. Just think of the benefits. You can easily navigate through heavily-trafficked commercial ports. “See” around bends in rivers to avoid near misses or collisions. Identify the position of nearby vessels in dense, blinding fog. GlobalWatch will radically change the way you view bridge electronics. And best of all, it’s built by a name you already know and trust – ACR.
