environmentally sound maritime operationsas well as help ensure
compliance with applicable regulations. All NOAA charts may be
printed while you wait in our Juneau office due to the availability
of a "Print on Demand" printer. Additional information

Vessel Tracking
The Marine Exchange of Alaska has developed a cost effective
and reliable vessel tracking system that uses both AIS and satellite
transponders to track the locations of vessels in Alaska and
around the world. For the cost of a "latte a day" this
system provides a vessel "Safety and Security" net
as well as aids the efficiency of maritime operations. The Marine
Exchange of Alaska can identify and install as needed a communications
system that best meets a vessel's needs at the lowest cost.
Vessel owners, operators and customers may view vessel locations
via the Marine Exchange of Alaska's secure, password protected
website that limits access to proprietary information. Visit
our "Vessel Tracking" section
for additional information. |
