  • Fishermen record their catch and effort reports on the Deckhand e-Logbook

  • The catch  can then be submitted in real-time via mobile data if within cell phone coverage range,  or via via satellite (short burst data) using the Solar VMS if outside of cellphone range.  In all cases the the cheapest available method is used.

  • The SolarVMS will also caputure and report the necessary GPS data that Fisheries NZ (previsously MPI) require 

  • Only the data that is required will be sent to FishServe's Fisheries Management System, which you can access at anytime through your FishServe login
