The MISLE system is a Coast Guard system used for vessel look-up to access which data?

• A. MMSI database
• B. AIS position only
• C. Port calls
• D. Weather data

Answer: (A)

MISLE vessel lookups are anchored to the vessel’s unique identifier, the MMSI. The Maritime Mobile Service Identity is assigned to each vessel for radio and AIS communications, so MISLE uses this MMSI as the primary key to fetch the vessel’s record and its associated safety, regulatory, and enforcement information. It isn’t limited to a live AIS position or to weather or port-call data, which come from other systems. So the data accessed in MISLE for a vessel lookup is the MMSI database.
