WatchMate® Collision Warning System

Click for larger image

The WatchMate is a valuable tool to help avoid collisions at sea. Using the Universal Shipborne Automatic Identification System (AIS) the WatchMate displays data from all AIS equipped vessels in your vicinity. Audible warning alarms are sounded if a potentially dangerous situation exists.

The alarm sounds whenever a ship is detected that will come dangerously close even though the ship may still be many miles away. You are alerted immediately with the closest point of approach (CPA) and the time until CPA.

Unique and customisable alarm and filter settings help to eliminate false alarms.

Ships and alarms are displayed in a prioritised order assisting you to safely navigate in crowded commerical shipping areas.

Complete AIS data is displayed for each ship to increase your situation awareness.
