About CompAIS
Born out of necessity and frustration we could no longer sit by with substandard AIS data risking our vessels security as well as reducing our productivity so we decided that the only way to guarantee AIS coverage in remote areas was to build a network ourselves.
Our Commitment
CompAIS guarantees you at least 90% coverage on all stations at all times.
That's right, if a CompAIS station isn't online for at least 90% of the month then you will receive that stations data free for that month.
