Vessel Monitoring System (VMS)

A Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) is a technology used to track and monitor fishing boats and other vessels in real-time. It utilizes satellite communication to collect data on a ship's location, movement, and activity. This information helps authorities manage and protect marine resources, ensuring that fishing practices are sustainable and compliant with regulations. By providing accurate tracking data, VMS helps prevent illegal fishing, promotes safety at sea, and supports effective fisheries management, benefiting both the environment and the fishing industry.
