E-tracking for 15m vessels coming next year.

With all vessels in the EU over 24m now running e-tracking attention will turn to the same system being made compulsory aboard vessels over 15m in 2011. Inevitably it seems, with the world's largest fishing fleet to monitor, a Spanish company won the first contract to supply a system in EU vessels. London based INMARSAT supply the satellite etchnology that provides the tracking signal which leaves owners free to choose the hardware to have aboard the boat.
