Suncom Co., Ltd. - Fisheries - Electronic Monitoring (EM) for Coastal Vessels

Due to abnormal sea temperature changes, Pacific Bluefin Tuna have appeared in Korea’s coastal waters. To monitor potential overfishing and capture by set-net vessels, Suncom developed and deployed EM devices on set-net fishing vessels along Korea’s East Sea coast

Manufacturing and installation of electronic monitoring (EM) equipment for set-net fisheries by the National Institute of Fisheries Science
Project duration: From March 20, 2023, to April 17, 2023
System components: AI edge EM device, EM camera, marine communication router, EM software

Video recording of set and haul fishing operations on four long line vessels in the South Pacific
Collection of vessel track data from distant-water fishing vessels (including date, time, latitude, longitude, speed, and heading)
Collection of metadata worth for approximately three months, including EM device status information
Compliance with minimum technical specifications required by RFMOs
Development of API for remote control and management
Designed for operation in waterproof, corrosion-resistant conditions, and at high temperatures (80°C) and low temperatures (–30°C)
