satellite-based vessel monitoring system , VMS (skrót)

Just one example of this is the requirement to install a satellite-based vessel monitoring system (VMS) on vessels more than 10 meters long.

Furthermore, vessels larger than 15 metres must be equipped with an automatic localisation device which makes it possible to survey their fishing activities through a satellite-based Vessel Monitoring System (VMS).

Added to this, the Mauritanian authorities are using alternative methods to the satellite-based Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) stipulated in the agreement, which makes the vessel owners' work more difficult.
