AIS 2.0 (VDES): The future carriage requirement on SOLAS ships

AIS 2.0 is expected to be implemented in SOLAS chapters IV & V as carriage requirements in the upcoming years.

Sternula is the leading provider of AIS 2.0 connectivity with the world’s first commercial AIS 2.0/VDES satellite and we are ready to carry out tests by VDE-SAT.

AIS 2.0 (VDES, VHF Data Exchange System) is designed to enable communication between the ship bridge and maritime authorities.

AIS 2.0 has been developed as the new connectivity option

Affordable ship equipment
Global coverage via satellite
Extremely simple and robust

AIS 2.0 ship terminals and global coverage via satellite are now available!

Sternula’s “Worldwide AIS 2.0 Demo” project will involve many maritime authorities in parallel projects during 2025. This project will demonstrate selected digital services relevant to maritime authority operations.

Sternula is building a satellite-based infrastructure for global maritime data exchange using the new AIS 2.0 (VDES) technology, which is about to become a carriage requirement under the IMO SOLAS Convention.

AIS 2.0 will be a combined satellite and terrestrial network for data exchange with ships globally. AIS 2.0 equipment on vessels will have standardized interfaces, and it will be much cheaper to ship owners than alternative satellite-based connectivity options, making it attractive for the broader maritime industry. This means that AIS/VDES in the future will be the main channel for communication between ships and maritime.
