PERU fishing with guts to report…
The Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) launched the new Control Center Satellite Tracking System (Sisesat), from which highly accurate monitor fishing activity performed about 1,200 domestic vessels, in addition to foreign ships.
"This is another step in strengthening the control and surveillance of coastal resources at the national level, we are expanding the bandwidth of effective supervision in the Sea", said Deputy Minister of Fisheries, Juan Carlos Requejo.
He also said that the Control Center empowerment implies not only a physical space with the best technology, but also acquiring a new satellite software.
In this regard, he said that such software will control procedures are much more agile, safe and simple.
"It will automatically detect infringements, which will be complemented by the force of the new legislation that allows satellite tracking beacons installed in each vessel issued information every ten minutes, making the track is detailed"He explained.
Global leadership
He stressed that the satellite software places to Peru as a leader in the region on satellite tracking.
"We had a system and software dating from 1998. Today we have a software with the latest technology, and coupled with new and efficient rules make clear that Peru return to that world leadership in monitoring and control"Emphasized Requejo.
Thus, through the Sisesat will be strengthened, inter alia, satellite surveillance of fishing vessels and detected in a timely manner and with a high degree of accuracy, the alleged violations, mainly regarding the removal of aquatic resources in areas reserved or prohibited.
"It will also close an area by the presence of juveniles, so do not enter the vessels"He noted.
With this system you will be controlled all vessels engaged in industrial fishing; the smaller scale dedicated to catching Anchovies, as well as the Overseas fleet dedicated to fishing for tuna and developing mining activity outside 200 miles under the RFMO.

The system I stress the Deputy Requejo operate 24 hours a day, with operators daily; while maintaining a permanent link with the Navy of Peru to the complementary use of this system that manages the institution (System Identification and Monitoring Aquatic Traffic -SIMTRAC)
Impact
It should be noted that by Sisesat be provided to support the implementation of monitoring and monitoring of artisanal vessels through Automatic Identification System - AIS or similar technology.
In coordination with the Instituto del Mar del Peru (IMARPE) monitoring domestic and foreign vessels using satellite images are fulfilled.
The new Control Center Satellite Tracking System (Sisesat) is the Office of Technology for Monitoring Directorate General of Supervision and Control, the Deputy Minister of Fisheries.
