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.

Designed with data privacy and security in mind, the BigOceanData platform meets the specific requirements of fisheries monitoring authorities. Where necessary, systems can be configured to keep all data stored in-country, with local server deployment available to comply with national data policies.

Most recently, fisheries authorities in South Africa, Mauritius, and Cyprus have selected BigOceanData to provide VMS solutions tailored to their operational needs. Also, BigOceanData is used by numerous fishing companies to monitor their own and competitor fleets.

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.
