Objective – Automated – Tamper-resistant

Automated, reliable monitoring at sea

Electronic monitoring is playing an increasingly important role in modern fisheries management, offering an objective, automated way to record fishing activity without relying solely on manual input. EFICE develops and supplies electronic monitoring solutions that work seamlessly alongside our reporting and administration systems, giving fleets, agents, and governments a more complete and reliable picture of activity at sea.

Vessel Monitoring System (VMS)

A Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) is built directly into the Blackbox, combining automated fishing-activity detection and vessel positioning in a single, integrated device.

AmendTrack Blackbox

The Blackbox automatically detects when a vessel is fishing, no manual logging is required, providing an accurate, tamper-resistant record of fishing activity throughout the trip.

Key features

  • Automatic fishing activity detection for trawlers, without manual input from the crew
  • Designed around how the trawler fleet actually operates
  • Seamless fit with EFICE’s wider suite of catch registration and fleet management tools
  • Tamper-resistant, objective data, independent of manual reporting
  • Built-in VMS, combining position tracking and activity detection in one device

Built to grow with the sector

Electronic monitoring needs differ from fleet to fleet, and from fishery to fishery. Beyond the AmendTrack Blackbox, EFICE is open to developing additional electronic monitoring solutions where there is demand, whether that’s for other vessel types, gear types, or monitoring requirements, or as part of R&D projects with partners across the sector.
