FURUNO FA 150 AIS
FURUNO offers reliable AIS performance for safe navigation
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponder FA-150 is designed to improve navigation safety by observing other AIS equipped ships. It can provide you with a solution for open sea cruise and inland navigation.
The FA-150 can be interfaced with radar, ECDIS and ECS (Electronic Chart System), allowing AIS information to be displayed on them. Overlaying the AIS targets on the display enables vessel operators to distinguish the ships from other targets, such as islets.
The FA-150 complies with relevant international regulations and standards (e.g., IMO, ITU-R, IEC) as well as international class requirements and Inland AIS requirements.
For inland use, the FA-150 has the Blue Sign port. Blue Sign status information helps you recognize the approaching vessels to your area.

AIS-equipped vessels transmit each other their own vessel information. The data is also received by the shore stations. They recognize the vessels’ identifications and send the vessels the safety-related data including local weather warning and water level information.
EMMA (European Multiservice Meteorological Awareness) provides the ships with the inland AIS devices with the weather warning (e.g. fog, flood, snow and ice), which will be utilized for the safe navigation.
