EXPRESS 1 is a battery-operated AIS AtoN (Automatic Identification System Aids to Navigation) device that can be easily installed within minutes on any maritime hazard.

EXPRESS 1 broadcasts the hazard’s location every 5 minutes to nearby shipping, significantly elevating maritime safety. For users of ECDIS, chartplotters, and VTS systems, the AIS AtoN information seamlessly integrates with charts, providing a clear visual location of the hazard (see figure below). EXPRESS 1’s extended battery life of up to 5 days on a single charge makes it the perfect solution for marking temporary hazards. When the battery runs low, it can be rapidly recharged in just a matter of hours, ensuring an uninterrupted safety service.

Low cost, simple, effective

Using certified AIS AtoN Type 1 transmissions DAS EXPRESS 1 will continuously transmit the exact GPS location of the buoy to both your VTS centre display as well as on the chart display of all nearby vessels as a vital navigation aid. It also includes a light sensor that can be used to detect the activity of an AtoN’s Lantern. This ensures you always know that your buoy is in the correct location and if not due to malfunction or sabotage you are instantly alerted.

Operate for years in even the most extreme conditions

All electronics, including GPS and AIS/VHF are fully sealed within the toughened enclosure. DAS EXPRESS 1 can operate autonomously for one week using its own internal rechargeable battery, or easily connect to any existing power source with the battery then acting as a back-up. The DAS Express 1 kit is provided with everything required for immediate installation in minutes on any buoy.
