New BeiDou AIS Base Stations Strengthen Navigation & Safety
Breakthrough in Maritime Safety – Two newly constructed BeiDou AIS (Automatic Identification System) base stations at Xisha North Reef Lighthouse and Langhua Reef Lighthouse are now operational. This marks a major advancement in AIS coverage, eliminating blind spots and providing enhanced vessel monitoring and navigation assistance in the region.
Stronger, More Reliable Positioning – The new stations leverage China’s independently developed BeiDou positioning system, ensuring higher accuracy, reliability, and seamless data integration with the AIS coastal system. By utilizing BeiDou satellite communication for data transmission, vessels can now navigate Xisha waters with greater confidence and security.
What This Means for Maritime Operations
✔ Full AIS Coverage in Xisha – Eliminates signal blind spots, improving navigation safety.
✔ Enhanced Monitoring & Environmental Protection – Supports vessel traffic management and island reef conservation.
✔ Stronger South China Sea Navigation Support – Improves compliance with international regulations and enhances operational efficiency.
