Vessel Monitoring System

A Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) is a technology used to track the location and movement of ships and fishing vessels in real-time. It typically uses GPS and satellite communication to send vessel data to a central authority, helping ensure compliance with fishing regulations, improve safety, and prevent illegal activities. VMS enhances transparency and management of maritime resources by providing authorities with accurate, continuous information about vessels' positions and activities at sea.
