It's called "ais" or automatic identification system, and is part of the gmdss- or radios that the vessel carries.  It transmits a signal automatically with vessel name, speed, course, Eta, etc...A fairly new homeland security add on some years ago.  In one way, I like it- in the other way I would not want to transmit that much information out.

lemmee see if a can attach a pic of our screen...
