What is a Call Sign - Ship Identifier?

The Call Sign, or ship identifier, is a unique code assigned to each ship, used for radio communications and identification.

  • Unique identifier: Made up of letters and numbers, it is used to distinguish ships in maritime communications.
  • Use: Used for radio transmissions, ship tracking and maritime safety purposes.

Call Sign is crucial in the Kinéis S-AIS system for identifying vessels and facilitating the monitoring and management of maritime traffic.
