Srikcir Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 the boat turned on its AIS, allowing officers at the Phuket Port in-Port out Control Center (PIPO) to identify it as the “Uthaiwan”. Or one could have read the name of the ship on the bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
