AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a worldwide used transponder system for shipping traffic. Svašek Hydraulics uses this
system to monitor ship movements. In the figure below the traffic inside the Port of Rotterdam is given on Wednesday December 12th 2007 from 18:20 to 20:30 hours. The cruise ship Queen Victoria (indicated with magenta circle), departs backwards from the Rotterdam Cruise Terminal. The cruise ship turns in one of the harbour basins and then sails for open sea. The whole manoeuvre is assisted by tugs.
