Support Services for UK Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) Device - 2026

The UK is required to collect position information from UK administered commercial fishing vessels over 12m in length, and where said vessels are fishing in EU states and other 3rd countries’ waters, forward those position reports to those states. This ongoing requirement is for the continued support services of AST Marine Science Ltd who are the suppliers of the required terminal, the bespoke firmware and the proprietorial network applications that receive and forward the position reports.
