Sitronics Group began providing AIS data for monitoring and safety of fishing fleet vessels

2023: Use of Sitronics Satellite Automatic Identification System

The Fisheries and Communications Monitoring System (CMS) Center began to receive information on the location of fishing fleet vessels using data from the Sitronics Group's coastal and satellite automatic identification system (AIS), which announced this on April 28, 2023.

Cooperation between the CSMS and Sitronics Group allows monitoring of fishing vessels and water areas for the conservation of aquatic biological resources, control of merchant shipping in fishing areas.

In accordance with the signed contract, the CMS transmits information on the time, location, course and speed of Russian vessels operating in all waters of the World Ocean, Russian and foreign vessels - in the internal sea waters and on the continental shelf of Russia, in the exclusive economic zone of Russia.

For the Fisheries and Communications Monitoring System Center, we provide data using the service we created - an AIS data collection and visualization platform. Up-to-date information allows you to control shipping within protected facilities and identify vessels involved in water surface pollution, plan shipping, including in rescue operations for ships in distress, and fight illegal fishing, "said Pavel Dreiger, vice president of software products and solutions at Sitronics Group.

Restricting access to foreign AIS data for Russian companies has led to the need to search for reliable sources of their receipt in our country. Sitronics Group is doing a lot of work to develop a domestic system for automatic identification of ships. Already in April 2028, we receive more than before, the number of positions for each ship, they are more often updated and more accurate, - said the head of the TsSMS Alexander Mikhailov.
