“To ensure the sustainability of distant-water fisheries, Suncom is opening the future of Korea’s distant-water industry by providing efficient and practical AI-based solutions for both fishing operators and fisheries management agencies.”

The international community is taking a serious view of the extensive environmental, economic, and social costs caused by illegal, unreported, and unregulated IUU fishing activities. Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) are being urged to adopt and mandate the rapid implementation of smart ocean technologies based on advanced science

Electronic Monitoring (EM) Data Collection Devices and Software

Suncom has developed a Korean-style EM data collection system that enhances Monitoring, Control, and Surveillance (MCS) capabilities for IUU fishing by analyzing fishing operations on distant-water vessels using AI edge-computing-based EM collection technology.

✔ AI Edge Collection Devices
  • EM Edge : Complies with RFMO EM international standard guidelines. Enables remote control via satellite data transmission and reception in real time from land. Features AI-based video analysis to detect both set and haul activities and provided blurring function for crew privacy protection.
  • EM Camera : Specially designed EM camera optimized for corrosion resistance and noise reduction. Capable of uninterrupted operation in extreme environments such as high temperatures (80°C) equatorial waters and low temperature (–35°C) polar waters.
  • EM Monitor : Touchscreen interface

✔ AI-based automated recording when fishing is detected

Main Features 

Real-time video display
  • Streams video from up to four cameras simultaneously
  • Monitors camera operational status
  • Allows zooming of video footage
  • Overlays time information based on real-time GPS data

Collects and stores vessel GPS data

Identification of status information of the data collection system

Function to prevent infringement of crew member privacy

Automatically blurs the face and body of crew members before recording

Encryption and decryption of recorded files 

Prevents leakage of video data
