What is a virtual buoy?2024-03-14T08:57:38+00:00

A virtual buoy is a navigational aid implemented using AIS (Automatic Identification System) technology and offers cost-effective alternatives to physical buoys.

Virtual buoys can be accurately created and displayed on AIS displays of nearby ships. This approach makes it possible to mark specific locations or hazards without the need for physical installations.

Some typical applications of virtual buoys include marking deep water channels, temporary construction areas, underwater equipment and conducting seabed surveys.
