VesselAware vs CH16

VesselAware™ transforms marine VHF voice communications into real-time, geospatial intelligence. VesselAware™ delivers transcribed and translated radio traffic, detected locations, vessel information, and categorized maritime events alongside existing AIS and operational data. VesselAware™ identifies distress calls, hazards, hails, security events, and other activity as it happens, turning previously isolated voice communications into structured, location-aware data. The result is a richer Common Operating Picture that gives watchstanders and decision-makers a more complete understanding of maritime activity across their area of responsibility. VesselAware™ makes boating safer and less stressful by transforming VHF radio communications into easy-to-understand alerts and information. Get notified about urgent calls, nearby hazards, and hails to your boat while seeing relevant vessel activity on a clear map.
