All ships transiting Canal waters that are over 300 net tons or more than 60-feet in length must now be equipped with an AIS system that meets the standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). -- Geoff Note: IMO requires DGPS to the AIS, not a WAAS GPS. We have had yacht customers (over 60 feet) equipped with WAAS GPS refused transit of the canal. The AIS reports the type of GPS it is using. Doug K7ABX What's also interesting is that the closest DGPS signal to Panama comes from Puerto Rico and doesn't make it that far... -- Geoff |
