Electronic Reporting Systems (ERS) are integral modules within the Fishing Monitoring Centre (FMC) software. They provide a digital platform for the management and reporting of fishing activities, as well as integrating other data sources such as sales and inspections reports, thereby enhancing accountability and transparency in fisheries management. Electronic Logbooks, on the other hand, are separate software applications or apps used onboard vessels to document operational data such as details about catch, gear used, effort, and area of operation. These systems integrate seamlessly into a VMS, thereby offering a comprehensive view of fishing activities. The integration of data from Electronic Logbooks and other external sources such as sales and inspections with the ERS module in the FMC software results in a more complete and accurate picture of fishing operations. This enhanced data fusion significantly improves the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the VMS system.
