VMS for fisheries The basic function of the VMS (Vessel Monitoring System) is to provide regular reports of the fishing vessel’s location, speed and report on catches to the fisheries management authority. That way the FMCs (Fisheries Monitoring Centers) are able to perform tracking, monitoring and surveillance of fishing fleets activities. EMA’s VMS solution tracks fishing vessels wherever they might be. Fishermen will cut costs automatically and effectively by choosing BlueTraker® VMS Hybrid terminal – with which position reporting can be more frequent, overheads more modest. BlueTraker® VMS...

Hybrid Communication Channel – SAT and GSM/GPRS Most common vessel tracking devices communicate telematic data only through satellite networks, but leave fishermen marooned paying high position reporting costs. BlueTraker® VMS Hybrid terminal reduces costs automatically and effectively, while using the low cost GPRS communication. BlueTraker® VMS Hybrid terminal can be configured according to several reporting schemes. The most economic one is that on the high seas tracking data is transferred via satellite communication channel, and while in coastal waters, when a secondary low cost mobile network...
