Fisheries Monitoring and Surveillance (FMS)

FMS detects vessels from satellite data and overlays this with vessel identification system data to identify vessels that may have deactivated that system. In this way, FMS can suggest vessels that may be involved in illegal activities, offering a cost-effective solution for monitoring vessel traffic over a large area.
