ALIS will allow users to ask questions such as: 'where is the nearest marina with a free berth for tonight?'; 'where is the nearest fuelling jetty?'

ALIS will automatically alert users to the proximity of other ALIS-equipped boats, such as 'Boat xx is n nautical miles from you on a bearing of zz degrees'. This could either be on an open basis of all users (excepting any that wish to stay 'ex directory'), or a closed group such as a holiday charter fleet or competitors in a race.

ALIS will be tied into information services such as Notice to Mariners (NTMs), navigational and weather forecasts, e.g. 'You are in the proximity of a Naval Trials area', 'You are in the vicinity of a severe storm warning'.
