Abstract

With the evolution of the technology over the various sectors communication is possible at ease. However, due to lack of awareness about ocean frontiers and advanced alert instruments, fishermen are facing trouble in knowing weather updates and border limits. In order to protect the fishermen and to assist them about the sea/ocean frontiers and weather updates during fishing, we are proposing vessel monitoring system, in which automatic identification is done using a GPS module and a communication established is between ship-ship, ship-shore using a Very High Frequency (VHF) equipment. This marine VHF set is a Two-way radio transceiver on ships and watercraft used for two way/bidirectional voice communication. [The VHF radio band operates at frequencies ranging from 156 to 174 MHZ. Its transmitter power is limited to 25 watts, and with the range of 100 kilometers (62 mi).] A panic switch is also installed to call out for help during emergency situations. Thus, this provides an effective navigation by preventing the fishermen from the border crossing and taking necessary actions during severe weather conditions and panic situations.
