The Inland AIS feature is based on CCNR (Vessel Tracking and Tracing Standard for
Inland Navigation). Inland AIS receives and sends SOLAS AIS information, and
interfaces automatic data input such as blue sign, draught (in centimeters), air draught
(height from waterline), hazardous cargo blue cone indication, euro ship identifier and
inland ship type. Further, the inland AIS sends ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) to lock,
bridge, terminal, etc. and displays response as RTA (Requested Time of Arrival) from
the lock, bridge or terminal. Information receivable from land stations include EMMA
warning, water level data, etc.
