Water level report. In this case from the NOAA Co-Ops 6 minute raw data. This is DRAFT/PROPOSED message format and should not be considered any sort of standard. The main goal is to illustrated the Tide Aware ENC and the AIS XML engine.
Note:Prototype only for the Hampton Roads/Elizabeth River 2007 demonstration project
