Put your Boundary Lines & Geozones into BlueTraker transponders!

Any maritime "geographical area (Geozone/Geofence) or boundary line" (together we call them MLG objects), no matter their complexity and diversity, can now be added to your VMS system by our team of experts following your wishes and requests. MBL objects will be uploaded to the Telematic Data Server (TDS), from which they may be sent to one or a group of BlueTraker devices. By this, fisheries authorities will gain:

Custom MLG objects in your VMS system that can be: national (e.g. EEZ) or international zones (e.g. high seas), internal waters (e.g. ports, bays, river mouths); national claims; different fisheries management areas; fisheries statistical regions, or any other custom zone to which the VMS system will respond.

Instant detection of geographical area entrance and exit or boundary line crossing, including information in which direction the boundary line was crossed (for example, inward or outward from the outer belt of EEZ; towards deeper or shallower water; towards the coast or away from the shore; etc.).

An instant positional report with additional attributes is sent, close to real-time, to FMC upon each event occurrence.

An instant audio and visual warning are set onboard the vessel upon each event: either unauthorized border crossing (for example, crossing the EEZ boundary line) or entry into an unauthorized geographical area (for example, entry into no fishing zone).

Geographical areas and boundary lines can easily be remotely updated (remotely uploaded to VMS transponders).

Geographical areas can have multiple attributes that affect reporting parameters (e.g., increased reporting frequency inside a specific geographical area). At the same time, it can be set that reporting parameters change only under particular conditions (for example: increased reporting frequency only if vessel's speed drops below the specific value). Of course, for each change of BlueTraker's device behaviour, a time/date validity period can be determined.

Depth-based boundary lines or zones

Isobaths (lines) can be created from digital sea relief from your data source or generally available bathymetric data. VMS system can detect, report, and set an onboard warning for each crossing of a selected isobath.

Two or more isobath lines can form a zone (for example, zone with 30m to 100m depth) with different reporting parameters, warning upon entry and/or exit, etc.

No Trawler Zone

Fishing with trawling method (especially bottom trawling) can sometimes have significant environmental impacts, such as the harvest of large numbers of non-target species (bycatch), as well as the destruction of shallow seabeds. Therefore this method is in some areas forbidden (Natura 2000 areas, coral reef areas, etc.).

No-take zones (NTZs)

No-take zones (NTZs) are marine protected areas (MPA) that do not allow any fishing, and as a result, fish in such zones can age and grow to large, healthy sizes. There can be permanent or seasonal prohibited fishing zones.

No-Go Zones

No-go zones help ships steer clear of dangerous waters and important marine habitat. These waters are officially called "Areas to be Avoided" or ATBAs and should be avoided by all ships or particular classes of boats.

These zones could be Marine Heritage Sites, Marine Ecosystems, Military Areas, shallow waters, etc.

EEZs and other maritime zones under the sovereignty of the coastal state

National zones and boundaries are archipelagic waters, coastal waters, territorial waters, contiguous zones, continental shelf, and most important, Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). An EEZ is an area of the sea that stretches from the territorial waters out to 200 nautical miles from the state's coast in question (except when EEZs would overlap).

EEZs can be defined as geozone or as a line. Line is sufficient when, for example, only the outer belt of EEZ is the vital boundary line for which "a crossing" of a vessel needs to be detected and reported.

Port Zone

The port zone can have a lower reporting interval than it is set for general reporting.
This reporting interval automatically changes when the vessel leaves the port area (geozone).

Fishing area with a special reporting regime

FMC can more easily determine if the ship has been fishing or not by examining the vessel pattern more in detail. This can be done by setting a higher reporting interval of VMS transponder for a specific area.

At the same time, it can be also set that reporting parameters change only under particular conditions. For example, when vessel's speed drops below the specific value.

FMCs can form a more accurate picture their fleet's fishing activity with BlueTraker's BlueSenz - a family of fishing gear sensors.

Depth-based geozones

Fishing zones in some countries are defined by the distance of each zone from the coastal line or by specific sea depth (boundaries defined by depth contours or isobaths) and the type and size of fishing vessels permitted to operate in each zone.

Nested zones

A nested zone (within another zone) can have specific attributes to which the VMS system will respond. All kind of zones can be defined for a specific period and may even be repeated (seasonal). They can also have different attributes for different types of vessel.
