💨 Abstract

Taiwan's Ministry of Transportation is proposing to mandate automatic identification systems (AIS) on all vessels, except those on inland waterways, to enhance tracking, prevent Chinese incursions, combat smuggling, and improve safety. Small ships, currently exempt, will be included. The amendments are a response to a Chinese man navigating a boat into a Taiwanese harbor last year.
