The member states and OLAF need access to information about vessels’ characteristics, ownership, movements (current and historic) and AIS — automatic identification system — information.

For the signature of a framework contract, the member states and OLAF need access to information about vessels’ characteristics, ownership, movements (current and historic) and AIS — automatic identification system — information. The AIS module rounds up with real-time positions of individual vessels and fleets from the AIS network receivers. Equally important is the possibility to check on the historical movements of the ships in order to identify where a particular ship was in the past.
