First private AIS network for Greece

IMIS Hellas reports that it has successfully completed the installation of the first private Greek AIS network with national coverage.
Over the last six months the company has installed 40 AIS stations across the country with the ability to monitor the position, speed, and course of all SOLAS vessels in Greek waters.
The AIS programme was selected by the ‘Greek Information Society’ to be subsidised with a 50 per cent grant as part of the ‘Intelligent Sea Transport’ project.
Under the Euro 750,000 contract with the Information Society, IMIS Hellas will use the network to provide a public automated telephone service for ferry routes with estimated times of arrival, as well as a web service for port and shipping management.
IMIS Hellas, based in Athens, is a new affiliate of IMIS Global, with offices in the UK, South Africa and the USA.
