The group has clarified the way ahead for AIS documentation as follows:• A new IALA Recommendation R0126 on AIS on an AtoN, based on input ARM19-7.3.7.1. This has been drafted but will be the final document to be completed.• A new IALA Guideline Gxxxx based primarily on the content of the existing R0126. This has been mostly drafted, but requires further work on a number of Annexes.• Relevant sections of the existing Recommendation R0143 – Provision of virtual aids to navigation and Guideline G1081 – Virtual aids to navigation will be incorporated within the new Guideline as an Annex B, allowing these documents to be retired.• Relevant sections of the existing Guideline G1050 – The management and monitoring of AIS information will be incorporated within the new Guideline as an Annex D, allowing this document to be retired.• Relevant sections of the existing Guideline G1062 – The establishment of AIS as an aid to navigation has been incorporated within the new Guideline, allowing this document to be retired. Annex A of this document will be incorporated within Annex B (Virtual AtoN) of Gxxxx.• Relevant sections of the existing Guideline G1084 – Authorisation of AIS AtoN have been incorporated within the new Guideline, allowing this document to be retired.• Guideline G1095 – Harmonized implementation of application-specific messages will be incorporated within the new Guideline as an Annex E, allowing this document to be retired.• Relevant sections of the existing Guideline G1098 – The application of AIS – AtoN on buoys.have been incorporated within the new Guideline as Annex C, allowing this document to be retired.
Recommendation R0124 – The AIS Service. This series of technical documents (with numerous appendices) is the largest single body of IALA AIS material. It contains much useful information but is no longer being actively developed or maintained. We recommend that these documents should be archived so as to still be available for reference purposes in the medium term.Recommendation R0123 – the Provision of Shore-based AIS. This document has not been substantially updated since 2007 and is largely duplicated in the new VTS document G1111-4 – Producing requirements for AIS. We recommend that R0123 be retired.Recommendation R0144 – Harmonized Implementation of Application Specific Messages. This document dates from 2011 and refers to an urgent need for harmonization. We recommend that R0144 be retired.Guideline G1082 – An overview of AIS. This document is a good introduction to AIS in general but not specific to AtoN. We recommend that G1082 be retained as a separate document; this could form the basis of an AIS Manual, as discussed at ARM18.Recommendation R1007 - The VHF DATA exchange system (VDES) for shore infrastructure and Guideline G1117 – VDES Overview are excluded from this AIS review.The Task Group also reviewed the IALA WWA Model Course on AIS Data Management. A further online intersessional review will be planned.
