Vessel Monitoring System (VMS)

Vessel Monitoring System (VMS): Boatracs® Fishing Mobile Communications Terminal Global Positioning System (FMCT/G), an interactive information management system that includes two-way mobile communications, satellite tracking and fleet management software.

Boatracs' FMCTG system is linked electronically to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) monitoring system to provide a reliable log of positions and days at sea. Boatracs' FMCTG is an NMFS approved Vessel Monitoring System.

Other important features include phone, email and fax services that enable fisherman to stay connected with families, as well as fleet offices and suppliers while at sea.
