Abstract
The disclosed system has, for each equipped ship, a transmitter that repetitively transmits the geographical coordinates, speed and course of its own ship. Furthermore, it transmits an identification code of any nature serving as an address for the exchange of messages. If it wishes to make concerted arrangements with other surrounding ships in order to perform maneuvers, it sends encoded messages taken out of a glossary.
