5.1 Setting the Voyage Data
Most of the data that are sent by your own AIS system for the purpose of target data display on other
ships 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) are of varying nature and therefore
have to be defined by the operator.
IMPORTANT
The following data must be entered at the beginning of every voyage,
and must (if necessary) be updated during the voyage.
Input of the voyage-dependent own data takes place in the dialog VOYAGE DATA:
DESTINATION: Destination of this voyage
ETA: Estimated time of arrival at the specified destination
TYPE: Ship type and (if applicable) the hazardous cargo
STATE: Navigational state
PERSONS ON BOARD: The number of persons on board.
DRAUGHT: The existing draught
☞ In the display fields TYPE and STATE, it is only possible to choose between specified entries which
are defined by the relevant authorities. This selection is done by means of the arrow keys after the
appropriate field has been opened by means of ENTER.
