Ocean Buoy Monitoring

Collecting valuable data in real time via unmanned assets at sea.

Ocean buoys are the eyes and ears of longline fishing vessels and purse seiners. When cellular signals are out of reach off the coast, satellite communication is the only reliable solution. For many years, buoys using solutions based on SkyWave satellite communication products and Inmarsat’s seamless network service coverage across five oceans have been used as a Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) and the optimal tool to track oil spills and transmit environmental data.

Immediate transmission of critical information

  • Track location of fishing buoys for long periods of time to optimize fishing operations and significantly reduce fuel consumption
  • Send oil spill, water temperature, weather, ocean pattern, circulation and coastline change data from environmental buoys to your PC
  • Use two-way communication and low message latency to obtain the immediate GPS location of the buoy

Safety, productivity and control

  • Flag out-of-the-ordinary events through exception-based reporting
  • Use over-the-air commands to change reporting frequency or turn sensors on or off
  • Optimize operations and increase productivity of fishing vessels
