European Government Renews BigOceanData Fisheries VMS Contract

BigOceanData is proud to announce that a major European Fisheries Department has extended its use of our Fisheries Vessel Monitoring System technologies and support for a 12th year!

BigOceanData has been a trusted name in vessel tracking since the early 1990s, when it operated as BlueFinger Limited — one of the world’s leading suppliers of Fisheries Vessel Monitoring Systems (FVMS), with over 20 government clients worldwide. While the company is now best known for its AIS-based fleet tracking services, FVMS remains a core area of expertise.

BigOceanData continues to support both government agencies through specialist shore-based monitoring centres and fishing vessels via dedicated Inmarsat and Iridium tracking solutions. Today, more than a dozen international clients rely on BigOceanData to monitor licensed fishing activity and ensure compliance with local regulatory conditions.

If your agency or company is exploring options for an effective and proven Fisheries Vessel Monitoring System, now is the time to join the growing list of satisfied BigOceanData clients.

“Maersk needed the ability to track containers. After signing a two-year contract with BigOceanData in September 2016 for vessel tracking services, Maersk extended and expanded the agreement in early 2018 for a further 30 months, covering three times the original number of vessels and nearly double the number of tracked containers. Maersk continues to use the BigOceanData SSAS service, a cost-effective, well-supported solution.”

“BigOceanData played a key role in de-risking the return of our vessel, SARBAS, from the Persian Gulf at the onset of hostilities. Their team provided excellent support over a weekend, rapidly setting up frequent Inmarsat-C position updates, seamlessly integrated with AIS data, to support a safer transit. The solution was highly cost-effective and delivered with efficiency and professionalism throughout. The team are a pleasure to work with.”
