Can you tell I last worked on harbor tugs? I forgot about destination and ETA. Mike173 is right, you'll get called on it if you don't update those. Also, a safety feature built in to the AIS units will automatically change the reporting interval based on speed and rate of turn, regardless of the nav status field, because lots of people forget to update that one.
