Client Overview
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (”NOAA Fisheries”) is the federal agency, a division of the
Department of Commerce, responsible for the stewardship of the nation's living marine resources and
their habitat. NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service is responsible for the management, conservation
and protection of living marine resources within the United States' Exclusive Economic Zone (water 3
to 200 nautical miles offshore).
Using the tools provided by the Magnuson-Stevens Act, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service
assesses and predicts the status of fish stocks, ensures compliance with fisheries regulations and
works to reduce wasteful fishing practices.

Project Details
Absolute's electronic logbook solutions are designed to be as user friendly as possible, and operate in
conjunction with a number of leading Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) terminals on both the Inmarsat
and Iridium satellite networks.

used in Northeast and Southeast Fisheries

Electronic Logbooks can reduce the paperwork burden to industry and improve regulatory compliance
by streamlining submission of catch data to the regulatory authorities. Fisheries regulations can
change frequently, so our system is designed to remotely receive updated electronic forms over-the-air,
avoiding the need to visit the vessel to manually install updates.
Absolute has provided Electronic logbooks since 2007. Our work in this field commenced with
programs in the United States NOAA Northeast Region, under the Days-at-Sea program. In 2008
Electronic forms were introduced within the Southeast Region also. In late 2010 NOAA awarded a
further contract to Absolute to cover the Pacific Islands Region - providing electronic logbooks and
catch reporting systems to the United States fishing fleet operating in the South Pacific.
The addition of this new program within the Pacific will further assist United States fishing vessel
operators in meeting their obligations to file timely notices including arrival/departure reports, catch
reports, trans-shipment reports and notice of entry to restricted fishing areas.

being introduced for the Pacific Region Fisheries

Our latest release, the Forms 2.0 package, marks a major upgrade to Absolute's on-board catch
reporting system. For the first time our electronic logs are directly linked to the Absolute Fleet Information
System, used by several leading fisheries management organizations worldwide for their vessel
monitoring programs.

Case Study
Electronic logbooks installed on over 2,000 ships
Today over 2,000 vessels use Absolute's electronic forms technology to report their catch activities to fisheries authorities - in real-time via a
Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) terminal fitted on-board each vessel.
