System Summary

TerraVision provides a comprehensive tracking system that passes data to a Control Centre and optionally communicates with the fleet.

The system provides:

A tracking system,
VMS management capabilities.

Optional plug-in modules:

Patrol Query - Fleet data download to patrol vessel
OceanVision - Chart system
Satlink Email - An email system
ECERS - A fish catch and effort reporting system
