A French-assisted project to observe fishing boats in Da Nang city and
Quang Nam and Quang Ngai provinces using satellite technology has been
launched, the Da Nang Coastal Information Station has said.
Under the project, in which the
French Government provided technological assistance, more than 400 fishing
boats in the aforementioned areas will be installed with a Vessel Monitoring
System free of charge.
The system, which consists of a
transmitter-receiver of signals via low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, and a
data terminal (MARLIN 100), will help concerned agencies improve the
observation of both fishing boats at sea and on their fishing grounds.
After collecting necessary data,
the VMS will send meteorological information, storm warnings, and daily weather
conditions, and other necessary data including atmospheric pressure and wave
elevations, to fishing boats at sea.
Through the system, concerned
agencies can timely warn fishing boats about danger at sea, facilitating them
in taking safety measures to cope with dangerous circumstances.
At the same time, fishermen can
use the system to inform concerned agencies of their real-time condition, when
necessary.
