Smartfind M6 AIS Class A Transponder

The SmartFind M6 AIS Class A Transponder gives mariners the ability to view at a glance the AIS status of vessels all around them and provides access to a host of detailed vessel navigation information.

Building on our strength as a market leader and world class manufacturer of marine safety equipment, the McMurdo M6Automatic Identification System ably fulfils the demanding requirements of seagoing vessels. Ease of use is foremost and has resulted in a truly cutting-edge product that benefits from the very best AIS technology, presented in a way only a company of McMurdo’s wide experience can.

The SmartFind M6 Class A provides automated AIS communication from ‘ship- to-ship’ and ‘ship to-shore’, transmitting and receiving vessel, voyage and safety related information. Own vessel voyage, position and course information is automatically transmitted, and the AIS information provided by other ships in the vicinity, shore- based stations and AIS equipped aids to navigation are clearly displayed.

The complete AIS solution, comprehensive interface capabilities support interface connection to the vessel’s existing navigation sensors; connection of Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), or Electronic Chart System (ECS) using NMEA, NMEA2000, USB and Ethernet connectivity interfaces.

SmartFind M6 is suitable for all vessels that are required by legislation to fit AIS equipment, both high seas and for vessels required to transit along the network of EU Inland waterways. A “blue sign” switch may optionally be connected to assist with signalling approaching inland waterway vessels.
