WHAT IS BlueTraker LDK?

The LDK is a type-approved Class III NAWI (Non-Automatic Weighing Instrument), combined with a complete Digital Workflow for EU-compliant first landing:

  • Verified weighing,
  • Lot identification,
  • Fish-crates tagging,
  • Landing Declaration creation and submission,
  • Transport Document creation and submission.

Designed for self-service operation by fishermen 24/7, it brings compliant catch registration directly to the very first point of landing. Integrated ice production, storage and dispensing make the LDK a complete landing infrastructure solution in a single compact unit.

WHY IMPLEMENT LDK? HERE'S YOUR VALUE

Authorities:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Supports implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2023/2842, and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1932.
  • Electronic Landing Declarations: Enables submission of Landing Declarations to the competent authority’s FIS, with linked digitally signed, tamper-evident weighing evidence.
  • FIS Data Integration: Retrieves vessel, fishing-trip and electronic logbook data directly from the competent authority’s FIS.
  • Complete Digital Reporting: Submits verified weighing, Landing Declaration, Lot and Transport Document data to the competent authority’s FIS.
  • Higher Data Quality: Reduces duplicate data entry, paperwork and manual processing.
  • Digital Chain of Trust: Links the operator, vessel, fishing trip, weighing, Landing Declaration, Lot, and Transport Document.
  • 24/7 Landing Services: Extends digital weighing and reporting to small and remote landing sites.
  • Cost-Efficient Operation: Combines self-service use, remote diagnostics and planned maintenance.

Fishermen:

  • Simple Workflow: Offers simple weighing and reporting via an intuitive interface.
  • Fishing-Trip Data Retrieval: Retrieves eligible fishing trips and available catch data from the competent authority’s FIS.
  • Pre-Filled Landing Declaration: Reuses FIS and electronic logbook data, leaving only missing landing details to enter.
  • Electronic First Landing: Covers verified weighing, Landing Declaration submission, Lot identification, crate tagging and Transport Document generation.
  • Verified Weighing: Provides shared access to a type-approved and legally verified Class III NAWI.
  • Lot and Crate Identification: Generates Source Lot and crate identifiers and prints QR-enabled tags.
  • Immediate Documentation: Prints weighing receipts and fish-crate tags directly at the LDK.
  • Transport Document: Generates the Transport Document on the LDK and submits it to the competent authority’s FIS.
  • On-Demand Ice*: Produces, stores and dispenses ice in LDK-ICE configurations.

LANDING DECLARATION STEPS

LDK-flow2a
LDK-flow2a_small
  • Secure NFC Login & 24/7 Self-Service: Fishers authenticate with NFC cards and follow a guided and optimised first-landing workflow.
  • Verified Weighing & Digital Evidence: Catch is weighed on an integrated, type-approved Class III NAWI. Each weighing creates a digitally signed record containing the scale ID, timestamp, gross, tare and net weight, linked to the authenticated operator, vessel and fishing trip.
  • Landing Declaration: The LDK retrieves the relevant fishing trip and completed electronic logbook data from the competent authority’s Fisheries Information System (FIS), pre-fills the Landing Declaration and supports its electronic submission.
  • Lot Identification & Crate Tagging: The system automatically generates Source Lot and crate identifiers and prints QR-enabled labels linking each crate to its species, weight, fishing trip and verified weighing record.
  • Transport Document Generation: The LDK generates the Transport Document, records transporter, vehicle, loading and destination data, and links the transported consignment to the relevant lots and crates.
  • Integration with the Authorities’ FIS: The LDK retrieves fishing-trip and electronic logbook data from the competent authority’s Fisheries Information System (FIS) and electronically submits verified weighing records, Landing Declarations, lot information and Transport Documents, ensuring consistent and auditable data throughout the first-landing workflow.

DIGITAL CHAIN OF TRUST

From logbook entry to authority-verifiable digital Weighing Evidences and Landing Declaration – preserving data sovereignty.
