The new Octopus 10 from BlueTraker is a touch screen terminal with pre-installed applications for fisheries.

Designed to be tough and rugged, Octopus 10 terminals are ideal for use in marine/industrial environments. They provide communication with a BlueTraker® VMS device for sending documents, such as catch reports, compliance forms and exchange other data with the Fisheries Monitoring Centre (FMC).

The system is ready to be used ‘out-of-the-box’, without additional interfacing, modifications and testing, and pre-installed HMI application makes vessel data, such as position and speed of the vessel, fuel level, engine temperature, etc., available to the FMC. In addition, circular messages can be sent from FMC to any or all vessels.

An optional eLogbook application, which handles reporting according to ERS requirements (catch report, transhipment report, landing report, etc.) is fully compliant with international fisheries regulations and requirements.

An optional OceanMail application enables text messaging anywhere on the planet from the vessel to FMC or vice versa.
