AIS Identifier order for West Africa Vessel Monitoring System
Project
SRT is pleased to announce that it has received an order for 400
AIS Identifier VMS Transceiver kits which will be deployed in West
Africa for the tracking and identification of small fishing
vessels.
The Identifier VMS Transceiver kits will be deployed by
authorities as part of a long term programme to track and identify
small and medium size fishing boats and assist with the prevention
of illegal and unregulated fishing.
The Identifier VMS Transceivers are supplied as complete, ready
to install kits, and are enabled with SAT-Trak satellite AIS
(S-AIS) detection optimisation technology which enables reliable
tracking by AIS satellites when beyond coastal network range. This,
and other functionality, was trialled and proven by the relevant
authorities over an extended period during 2015 and 2016.
Simon Tucker, CEO of SRT, said: "AIS provides a reliable and
cost effective system for the monitoring of fishing boats. For some
time SRT has been the global leader in AIS technology development
and today in the provision of VMS products and systems. The
Identifier was trialled over an extended period in a very
challenging environment and again, proved itself as the best option
for AIS based VMS fishing vessel monitoring. We are delighted to
receive this order into a market that we have been following and
advising for some years and look forward to working with our
partners and authorities to increase deployments significantly in
the future."
