Onboard Crew Alerts
FMS VMS can send alerts (audio/alarms) to the onboard crew in case of a weather emergency or the boat unintentionally enters the danger zone. The Control Center can immediately alert the boat's crew and recall them to the harbor.
Live Positions in Falcon Mega Track
Access to Live Tracking Positions anywhere, anytime in Falcon Mega Track, Vessel Tracking Platform. The system provides secured credentials to access the dashboard to monitor the Fishing Vessels from the Monitoring Control Center.
Reporting Interval
Set specific time intervals for regular data reporting with comprehensive details. Our VMS also offers a location on request via the monitoring portal.
Route Monitoring
Check and optimize the Fishing Fleet route, and other critical data to compliant with Government regulations and prevent any damage. Keep an eye on Fishing Vessels track from anywhere in the world.
Fishing Vessel Monitoring System (VMS)
Fishing Vessels and boats often sail in vast territorial waters, aiming for a fruitful catch. Challenges such as entering prohibited waters, getting lost, or losing communication during high tides or storms can put these Fishing vessels at risk. Falcon Mega Solutions effectively addressed these challenges with the robust Vessel Monitoring System VMS.
Our state-of-the-art web-based Fishing Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) offers tracking, monitoring, Geo-fencing, and alerting functions for fisheries. In the event of severe weather conditions, personal reasons, or emergencies, the control center can send an alert to a fishing boat or group of boats, instructing them to return to shore immediately.
Our VMS is designed to streamline fisheries operations, enhance safety, and adhere to fishing zones. It tracks vessels in territorial waters and also beyond the exclusive economic zones. It helps improve the management and sustainability of the marine environment by ensuring proper fishing practices.

1. What is a Fishing Vessel Monitoring System (VMS)?
A Fishing Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) is a satellite-based solution that enables fisheries authorities and vessel owners to monitor fishing vessel positions, routes, speed, and activities in real time. Falcon Mega Solutions' VMS supports tracking, surveillance, geofencing, weather alerts, and emergency communications.
2. How does Falcon Mega Solutions' VMS work?
The system uses satellite communication and onboard hardware to determine a vessel's location and transmit reports to the Fisheries Monitoring Center (FMC). Position reports include GPS coordinates, speed, heading, weather information, and other operational data.
3. Who can benefit from the Fishing Vessel Monitoring System?
The VMS is designed for Fisheries Departments, National Fisheries Authorities, Coast Guards, commercial fishing companies, fishing fleet operators, and maritime enforcement agencies responsible for monitoring fishing vessels and protecting marine resources.
4. What information can be monitored through the VMS?
The system provides:
Live vessel positions
Vessel routes
Speed and heading
Reporting history
Weather information
Zone entry and exit alerts
Emergency notifications
Route monitoring and fleet visibility.
5. How does the VMS help prevent Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing?
The Fishing Vessel Monitoring System continuously monitors vessel movements and generates alerts when vessels enter restricted fishing areas, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), or unauthorized zones, helping fisheries authorities combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.
6. Can the VMS monitor the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)?
