Product Applications
Fisheries
In order to curb unreported and unregulated fishing, national governments are tracking and monitoring small and medium-sized boats. Thuraya MarineStar’s catch reporting, tracking and monitoring capabilities help users meet regulatory requirements. Additionally, the terminal is able to communicate with vessels, whenever alarm is raised.
Crew welfare
Crew on small vessels require basic connectivity. With the MarineStar onboard, they are always within reach – even on high seas in turbulent conditions. The terminal facilitates crew calling and SOS alerts, whenever required. Thuraya creates connected communities of seafarers with its local numbering plan implemented through roaming partnerships with GSM operators worldwide.
Condition based monitoring (user/server-defined)
The MarineStar enables users to perform condition based or on-board monitoring for predictive and preventive maintenance according to equipment’s status. Sensory data is transmitted from third-party devices through the terminal for further analyses. This translates to better planning and upkeep by reducing out-of-service time.
