Smart AI Trawler Support System
Smarter fishing. Connected operations. Better market decisions.
Hardware on the vessel, the record of the trip, and the seafood market, brought into one system.
Once a vessel leaves the harbour, the owner often loses sight of the trip. The landing, the grade, and the price then sit in a separate set of books.
BlueHarvest joins those two sides. The hardware records the voyage. The market record picks up the same catch after it is landed.
From the first voyage position to the final seafood transaction, we aim to make every stage more connected, measurable, and accountable.
The voyage
Every fishing journey generates valuable information
A trip is more than the harbour, the ground, and the return. Weather, water, and the work on deck all belong in the same record.
From departure to landing
-
Before departure
Weather, ocean information, and earlier trips can be reviewed before the vessel leaves.
-
During the voyage
The system records where the vessel goes. Fitted sensors can add air temperature, humidity, and wind.
-
During fishing activities
Fishing events are stored with a place and a time, so a later trip can be compared with the conditions and the catch.
-
On return
On landing, the voyage can be tied to species, quantity, grade, and the sale.
The hardware
A connected platform built around the vessel
A vessel-mounted hardware platform collects the trip, organises it, and keeps it ready to review.
What the system can capture
Weather and atmosphere
Where sensors are fitted, the record includes air temperature, humidity, and wind, read alongside the forecast.
Marine and ocean conditions
Water temperature, currents, sea-surface conditions, and depth may come from the vessel or from satellite and forecast sources. A reading taken on board stays separate from outside data.
Fishing activity and events
Departure, movement, fishing, and the return are stored with a time and a position.
Camera and visual information
A camera can add context on deck or at landing. Computer vision is a separate workstream and depends on the final hardware and on software checks.
Edge controller and sync
The edge controller timestamps each reading, holds it on the vessel when coverage drops, and sends it when a connection returns.
Hardware components and monitoring
IoT edge controller
GPS / GNSS antenna
Temperature and humidity
Wind speed sensor
Depth transducer
Fuel consumption
Fish-hold temperature
IoT edge controller
A marine enclosure that collects sensor, GPS, and camera readings, stores them on board, and sends them when a connection is available.
Device status and monitoring
Lights for power, connectivity, and faults, so the crew can see whether the equipment is working.
GPS / GNSS antenna
Position, speed, course, and the route of the trip.
Temperature and humidity sensor
Air temperature and humidity around the vessel during the trip.
Wind speed sensor
Wind speed, and wind direction where a compatible sensor is fitted.
Connectors and cable harness
Sealed cables between the controller, the sensors, the antennas, and the vessel’s power.
Marine-grade mounting brackets
Corrosion-resistant mounts for antennas, weather sensors, and cameras.
Navigation and monitoring display
An onboard screen for position, the route, readings, and alerts.
Marine CCTV camera
A marine camera on the deck, the net area, or the landing point. The footage may later support computer vision.
Depth transducer
Water depth under the hull, stored with the vessel’s position.
Fuel consumption monitoring
Diesel used on the trip, from a compatible flow sensor or engine interface.
Fish-hold temperature sensor
Temperature in the hold, with an alert when a reading leaves the set range.
Sonar and fish-finder integration
A link to compatible sonar or fish-finder equipment, stored with position and conditions where the instrument allows it.
Digital catch logging
Authorised crew record species, quantity, weight, place, and time. Those notes can later meet the landing and the sale.
Engine RPM and diagnostics
RPM, hours, and available diagnostics from a compatible engine interface, read next to fuel use and the route.
Integrated system overview
Vessel tracking and voyage monitoring
GPS position, speed, movement, routes, and digital trip records.
Environmental and marine monitoring
Atmospheric conditions, wind, water depth, and integrated sonar information.
Operational efficiency
Fuel consumption, engine performance, and fishing activity monitoring.
Onboard safety and visibility
Camera-based observation, device status, and configured operational alerts.
Catch quality and traceability
Fish-hold temperature monitoring and digital catch records.
Data-driven decision support
Vessel records brought together with satellite information, historical catch data, and seafood market activity.
Connected intelligence
Sea, satellite, and market, studied together
A position says where the vessel went. A weather reading says what the air was doing. A catch note says what came ashore. The useful picture is those three, read together.
Onboard vessel information
Coordinates, movement, time, sensor readings, and fishing events: what happened on the trip, and where.
Satellite and ocean intelligence
Sea-surface temperature, ocean colour, water movement, and weather, matched to the vessel’s place and time. This is context. It does not mean fish will be there.
Historical fishing information
About five years of fishing and commercial records, once they have been checked: places, species, quantities, and season. A pattern has to be tested before it can guide a recommendation.
Seafood demand and market information
Demand, incoming supply, grade, storage, and price decide what the trip is worth after the fish is ashore.
Decision support
Better information for the people operating the vessel
The sea, the rules, fuel, and the crew still decide the trip. The system informs that judgement. It does not replace it.
Fishing-ground selection
Past grounds, conditions, and marine data are being studied for advisory notes on where to fish. The licensed operator decides, within the rules and the weather.
Voyage and route planning
The voyage record can show extra miles and time spent searching. Any saving on fuel has to be shown on the vessel itself.
Visibility for vessel owners
An owner can see where the vessel went, how long each activity took, and how this trip compares with earlier ones.
Responsible fishing
The record can show designated and restricted areas, and it can support later notes on bycatch. It does not replace statutory monitoring.
The record
Every trip should tell a complete story
The trip at sea and the sale ashore should be one story.
Trip notes, the landing book, the grade, and the sale often live apart. BlueHarvest ties them to one voyage, from departure through storage and dispatch.
What a connected record can help answer
- Where did the vessel operate?
- When did the fishing activity take place?
- What environmental conditions were recorded or referenced?
- Which species and quantities were landed?
- How was the seafood graded?
- What price did the catch achieve?
- Where was the seafood stored or dispatched?
From catch to commerce
Connecting fishing operations with the marketplace
After the vessel returns, the catch is graded, traded, stored, and dispatched.
-
Landing and catch identification
Species, weight, quantity, and the source vessel are written against the trip as the catch comes ashore.
-
Quality assessment and grading
Grading uses inspection and a set procedure. Computer vision for species, size, and freshness is a separate workstream, and it needs training and a shared standard. Formalin, heavy metals, and other chemical checks need a validated test. A photograph cannot establish them.
-
Digital trading and price discovery
After grading, the lot can be shown to buyers, including buyers who are not on the floor.
-
Storage and fulfilment
Cold storage can hold fish that is not sold at once. That storage stays tied to the sale and the dispatch.
The intelligence layer
From recorded journeys to informed recommendations
Each trip, landing, and sale adds a result. Models built on those records are still being developed.
Fishing-location intelligence
Place, season, conditions, and past catch, as advisory guidance on where to look. Not a promise of fish.
Operational efficiency
Trip length, route, and result, compared once enough voyages have been checked.
Species and season
Which species show up, by season and by stretch of coast.
Market and price
Supply, demand, grade, and price, toward later guidance on when and where to sell.
Who it is for
Designed for the people behind the industry
Built for the people who run the boats and the trade.
Fishing vessel owners
Where the vessel went, what was recorded, and how the trip ran.
Pilots and crews
Weather, ocean context, and earlier trips, for planning the next one.
Traders and buyers
Species, grade, quantity, and a chance to buy.
Processors and exporters
A path from the vessel to a documented grade and a named source.
