Final answer:
In the context of AIS, the rate of turn is the navigation-related information broadcast every 1 to 10 seconds to ensure maritime safety by allowing vessels to make informed navigational decisions. Option A,B,C are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a tracking system used on ships and by vessel traffic services for identifying and locating vessels by electronically exchanging data with other nearby ships and AIS base stations.
The information that is expected to be broadcast every 1 to 10 seconds by a vessel's AIS typically includes dynamic information regarding the vessel's navigation status, such as its position, speed, and course.
Specifically, the rate of turn is one of the essential pieces of information broadcast in this frequency range. This rapid update interval is crucial for ensuring that all vessels in the vicinity can make informed decisions and maintain awareness of each other's movements to prevent collisions.
Regarding the options provided in the question:
(b) The rate of turn is typically broadcast at high frequency intervals (every 1 to 10 seconds) during navigation.
(a) The vessel's destination, (c) wind speed and direction, and (d) vessel's draft are not necessarily included in these frequent updates.
