Catch Reporting & Verification

Electronic forms are used for data entry on-board by either a vessel captain, fishing master, or independent observer.

Eliminating the need for labour intensive paper logbooks, Pole Star’s electronic logbook (e-Logbook) offers the potential to better manage catch data and produce traceability documentation.

Many fisheries regulations incorporate limits on the total number of fish caught and fishing days per area. Pole Star provides a single, rule-based system that monitors compliance automatically and loads and converts data from both at-sea and at-dock landing reports - making it available immediately for port inspection personnel via 3G/4G handheld tablets.

Our systems are designed to meet the traceability requirements being introduced by the EU, North American and Japanese authorities.
