Vessel Monitoring
Under the Absolute Software brand, Pole Star provides fisheries monitoring services to over 35 countries and regional fisheries management organisations, covering in excess of 50 million square miles of fishing territory worldwide.
Pole Star's vessel monitoring systems (VMS) automatically monitor fleets of vessels using sophisticated algorithms that automatically detect deviations from normal fishing behaviour. Alerts are directed to appropriate personnel for at-sea intercepts, followed by the subsequent production of legal and casework documentation.
The VMS includes the sophisticated Fleet Information System (FIS).
FIS a secure web-based application that includes modules for
registering and tracking vessels, entering fisheries boundary polygons,
generating reports, and managing permits and licences, all operating
within a state-of-the-art Web 2.0 application.
