Vessel monitoring systems

Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) are electronic tools used by authorities to track and monitor the location and movements of ships in real-time. They rely on GPS technology and communication networks to ensure vessels operate within legal boundaries, comply with fishing regulations, and promote safety at sea. VMS provides valuable data to prevent illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, and helps coordinate maritime activities. It’s a vital component in maritime management, offering transparency and accountability for vessel operations while supporting sustainable use of ocean resources.
