A.I.S history
A.I.S company history timeline
In the United States, the history of AIS begins on March 24, 1989, with the oil tanker Exxon Valdez running aground in Alaska’s Prince William Sound.
By 1998, the United States Coast Guard had embarked on a plan to modernize their entire vessel tracking service network which relied on voice radio communications and radar.
On September 11, 2001, attacks by foreign terrorists on United States soil ramped up the efforts, and AIS became an important tool in the Department of Homeland Security defense kit.
In 2002 it finally went global when the IMO in its landmark SOLAS convention mandated that all passenger ships and other commercial vessels over 300 GT should carry Class-A AIS transceivers.
When the regulations were first drawn up in 2003, vocal pushback from industry led the Coast Guard to exempt fishing vessels and passenger vessels with fewer than 150 passengers from the 65-foot threshold.
