Abstract
A communication terminal for addressed messaging within an Automated Identification System (AIS) arrangement includes a user interface and an Aid to Navigation (AtoN) transponder. The user interface facilitates the addressed messaging, which includes one or more of: chat messaging addressed between the communication terminal and a participant terminal of the AIS arrangement, automatic position messaging addressed from the communication terminal to a monitoring terminal of the AIS arrangement, or situational report messaging addressed from the communication terminal to a situational awareness terminal of the AIS arrangement. The AtoN transponder of the communication terminal of the AIS arrangement is coupled to the user interface for transmitting and receiving that achieves the addressed messaging. For the situational report messaging, the situational awareness terminal reformats and exchanges the addressed messaging with a web-based situational awareness tool via the internet.
