Welcome to Milltech Marine - your AIS experts. AIS (Automatic Identification System) solutions have been our main business for over a decade. We provide full service including pre- and post-sales with real experts who can help you create the best solution for your vessel.

AIS is the affordable upgrade for any vessel that more than pays for itself in added safety and peace of mind. AIS works with your chartplotter, computer, mobile device or dedicated display so you can "see" AIS-transmitting vessels. An AIS Transponder enables you to receive and transmit so you can "see" and also be "seen" by AIS-equipped vessels.

Check out our wide range of AIS solutions and other marine products. We keep a large inventory on hand and can typically ship orders within 24 hours.
