Newport Pagnell - Sep 17, 2002 Precise Positioning Products Inc. has signed a memorandum of understanding with Applied Satellite Technology Limited with the specific objective of providing The United Kingdom Fishery Departments with a Vessel Monitoring System to track UK fishing vessels, wherever they fish, and foreign vessels when fishing in UK waters. Currently, some 1,500 fishing vessels need to be monitored. This number could increase significantly in the future. Under the rules of the European Union, the United Kingdom is required to re-let its contact for this Fishing Vessel Monitoring System. P3, which has developed its AEGIS tracking system to provide a high level of management information, is to offer AEGIS for use by the UK's Fishery Departments, combined with state of the art Satellite Communication systems. The information obtained from all fishing vessels will be made available to other member states of the European Community, as well as providing up to date information for the control of fishing activities. It is considered that the UK's new Fishing Vessel Monitoring System will the largest vessel monitoring system in the world. P3's AEGIS tracking system is ideally suited to the monitoring of both fishing vessels, and the areas where fishing vessels operate. AEGIS incorporates a comprehensive data base which has been developed to provide extensive information on all fishing vessels being monitored, as well as comprehensive intelligence on the state of all fishing areas monitored.
