OMNI TRACKING SYSTEMS have been
invited to join the SHEEL Project, a European Union Sixth Framework
Programme. The SHEEL project, Secure and Harmonised European Electronic
Logbook, has an aim to introduce a state-of-the-art integrated
scheme that manifests a seamless interoperation over different
systems.
The SHEEL project's strategic objective is to develop, implement
and demonstrate a secure and harmonised European electronic logbook
for fisheries, so as to drive European regulations, which will
ensure exploitation of living aquatic resources in a sustainable
manner, improve economic and social conditions in the fisheries
sector and provide scientists with high quality data.
The SHEEL project is a thirty month EU funded project commencing
January 2004. More details of this project can be obtained from
this link to the SHEEL
website.

TERRAVISION, the widely used Vessel Monitoring System is now available with increased functionality. EVENT MANAGER MODULE
The new Event Manager Module now has powerful macro type functions to configure alarm conditions increasing the already sophisticated operation. More advanced alarms can be created using Boolean logic AND, OR and NOT operators. The large number of alarm conditions created will then trigger one, or a combination of many, pre-selected Alarm Action such as Print Report, Centre Display or Pager Message. INMARSAT COMMUNICATIONS MODULE
Positional reports from vessels entered in the system can now be received utilising two methods, Active and Passive reporting. This allows for separate accounts for each individual or a group of vessels for billing purposes and a separate account for the Vessel Monitoring Centre.The Passive reporting frequency can be set to a regular time interval whilst the Active reporting can be controlled by the Vessel Monitoring Centre. Active reporting can be triggered automatically by various pre-defined alarm conditions such as speed or region entry or exit and can increase or decrease the frequency of reports as necessary. Immediate position reports can also be requested manually or automatically using Active reporting.
