Aids To Navigation Teams
AIDS TO NAVIGATION TEAMS (ANT)———————————————————————
Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Teams (ANT) are small specialized units responsible for maintaining the "road signs of waterways”—buoys, beacons, and lights—to ensure safe maritime navigation. ANT teams physically service floating buoys and fixed structures (lighthouses, day beacons) to ensure they are in the correct position and functioning properly at all times. They currently use specialized boats such as the 55-foot Aid to Navigation Boat (ANB) with cranes, or the 49-foot Buoy Utility Stern Loading (BUSL) boat.
