Globally, there are over 38 million fishermen who depend on coastal and deep-sea fishing for their sustenance. Yet, these communities face numerous threats — sudden weather changes, boundary violations, piracy, and limited communication with coastal authorities. Every year, countless lives and valuable resources are put into risk due to inadequate tracking and communication systems.

Why Vessel Tracking Systems (VTS) Matter
Tejas VTS is not just about monitoring vessels; it’s a comprehensive solution that addresses multiple critical aspects of maritime operations:

1. National Security: With Tejas Sat-Com based Xponders, authorities can maintain real-time vigilance, identifying unauthorized vessels and safeguarding national waters from potential threats. This contributes to enhanced border security and minimizes illegal activities.

2. Fishermen’s Safety: Xponders provide a lifeline for fishermen, ensuring their location is tracked and assistance can be dispatched swiftly during emergencies. The system empowers fishermen with an added layer of security, reassuring their families and communities.

3. Maritime Vigilance: Real-time tracking and monitoring capabilities enable proactive maritime vigilance, reducing incidents of collision, encroachment, and aiding in timely search and rescue operations.

4. Enhanced Productivity: With accurate navigation data and two-way communication, fishermen can optimize their routes, reducing fuel costs and maximizing catch potential. This efficiency leads to higher productivity and profitability.

5. Fiscal Efficiency: By monitoring and digitizing crew and trip records, authorities can regulate subsidies effectively, ensuring that financial aids reach genuine beneficiaries and minimizing resource misuse.

6. Optimal Utilization of Government Resources: With the ability to monitor fleet movements and digitize records, Xponders ensure better utilization of government resources, driving efficiency and accountability in the fishing sector.
