Here's brief description of the mobile app that helps inspectors conduct vessel inspections using their mobile devices
The first step is to fill in a port entry notification. This ntofication will be sent electronically to the relevant authority to decide whether to allow you to enter port.
Fisheries officers will then check and verify that your company / vessel / captain does not have any outstanding fines, infringements, violations and/or cases against it.
If your vessel is verfied you will then be allowed to enter port.
Fisheries officers will then visit you at port and begin conducting their inspections on your vessel.
Use your mobile phone to conduct vessel inspections on fisheries vessels that are in port.
PHOTOS & GPS
Photos and GPS locations can also be taken and the data is synced directly to the cloud when the mobile phone is in range of an internet connection.
OFFLINE & CLOUD SYNC
This mobile application works offline and the data is then synced to the cloud when an internet connection is established.
The application can be used by multiple MCS Officers offline to manage information about vessel inspections.
As this data is synced to the cloud the information can then be synced back to all the other MCS Officers. That way all officers have a holistic view of the inspections that are going on in near real-time.
The use of GPS location the mobile application helps MCS managers and analysts track where each inspection was carried out.
This is then plotted on a map so you know exactly when and where an inspection was carried out, who carried it out and what did they carry it out on.
Use the application to tally the catch coming off vessels in port by species, date, weight, tally etc.
Photos and GPS locations can also be taken and the data is synced directly to the cloud when the mobile phone is in range of an internet connection.
Each unloading OR transhipment event in port is linked to the Port Entry ID generated when the vessel was requesting to enter port.
