Shipping: Identification
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many cases of vessels switching off or falsifying their Automatic Identification System (AIS) data have been identified in UK waters in the last 12 months.
- Answer
-
The Government continuously monitors UK waters to ensure the safety of mariners, protect the marine environment and uphold the UK's national security. Instances of vessels switching off their AIS are monitored on a case-by-case basis.
