Overview

An Entry event is generated when an AIS-transmitting vessel enters your Area of Interest. Technically, an Entry event the first AIS signal received within the geofenced area (Area of Interest). 

These events can only be created for Areas of Interest in the Skylight web platform. It must be enabled for each Area of Interest. 

These events are not a replacement for a real time vessel position viewer.
