The NEAFC VMS systemThe NEAFC VMS system Objective: Increasing the efficiency of inspections, Objective: Increasing the efficiency of inspections, control and enforcement control and enforcement Introduced in 1999 and the data base has been built Introduced in 1999 and the data base has been built up since then. The number of messages has recently up since then. The number of messages has recently been around 400,000 annually from around 500 vessels been around 400,000 annually from around 500 vessels
The number of messages will increase because it The number of messages will increase because it has been decided to increase reporting frequency for has been decided to increase reporting frequency for positions from every 2 hours to every hour. It includes positions from every 2 hours to every hour. It includes weekly or daily catch reports from vessels.weekly or daily catch reports from vessels.

North atlantic standardsNorth atlantic standards The basics the same as in NAFO, The basics the same as in NAFO, NAF format and
international standards as: International Radio Call Sign of a vessel as the main identifier. FAO Species Code for reporting catches UTC for timings WGS-84 for position datum ISO 8859.1 character code ISO-3166 3-alpha country code
The messages are kept as short and compact as possible, which is important when the messages are transmitted from fishing vessels
Number of mandatory fields are kept to minimum All basic information for each vessel are kept in the data base and
linked by the vessel’s main identifier

The NAF system is robust and it is possible to use the basic The NAF system is robust and it is possible to use the basic elements of NAF with XML. The problem is the length of the elements of NAF with XML. The problem is the length of the message. Short message could be bogged down by large headings message.

Data transmitted by vessels are prone to errors and the Data transmitted by vessels are prone to errors and the quality control by FMCs is patchy. Some FMCs do use quality control by FMCs is patchy. Some FMCs do use features built into the system for data control, others do features built into the system for data control, others do not. This affects their usefulness in scientific analysis not. This affects their usefulness in scientific analysis
The other problems is that scientist ask for other data The other problems is that scientist ask for other data that are not important for inspectors. More about that that are not important for inspectors. More about that laterlater

Most fisheries jurisdictions attempt through statistics and Most fisheries jurisdictions attempt through statistics and sampling systems to get a complete picture of the activities of sampling systems to get a complete picture of the activities of fishing vessels. It seems natural that VMS data primarily for fishing vessels.

The key point is how useful are VMS data for estimates of The key point is how useful are VMS data for estimates of fishing in time and space. Is it possible from the combination of fishing in time and space. Is it possible from the combination of vessel specific data and messages on positions and catches to vessel specific data and messages on positions and catches to describe fishing activity efficiently describe fishing activity efficiently
In other words can the VMS systems be designed to meet In other words can the VMS systems be designed to meet both the needs of inspection services and the needs of scientistsboth the needs of inspection services and the needs of scientists

a) including the fishing gear in reportsa) including the fishing gear in reports
b) increasing the frequency of reporting of VMS positionsb) increasing the frequency of reporting of VMS positions
c) improving completeness of catch reports (covering all c) improving completeness of catch reports (covering all species in the catch) and the frequency of their transmission species in the catch) and the frequency of their transmission (ideally once a day and reported on haul by haul basis)(ideally once a day and reported on haul by haul basis)
