Succorfish Real-Time Vessel Monitoring System

The Succorfish SC2 Gen 3 device and data platform provide highly reliable and accurate real-time vessel monitoring, from inshore to offshore, in any conditions, around the UK and in the most remote of locations. Giving you the data you need to keep your fleet visible, compliant, and connected. 

Designed for the demands of commercial fishing, the SC2 Gen 3 uses the most technically advanced GPS technology, combining Iridium satellite and LTE Cat 1 BIS cellular connectivity in a single unit, automatically switching between networks to maintain continuous vessel tracking wherever you are operating.

Fleet managers and crew can access live vessel position, track history, and compliance reporting through the Succorfish SC2 cloud dashboard and mobile app, giving you full visibility of your fleet from any device.

Vessel Monitoring, REM, and Beyond

  • Type Approved I-VMS — Type Approved I-VMS for fishing vessels under-12m in England, with automatic position reporting requiring no crew input.
  • REM Ready — integrates with the Succorfish REM ecosystem for fully documented fisheries programmes, including gear activity and catch data transmission through a single device.
  • Continuous Visibility & Control — live positioning, system status, alerts, and historical data through a unified dashboard for complete operational oversight.
  • Hybrid Continuous Connectivity — combines Iridium satellite with LTE Cat 1 BIS cellular for seamless, unbroken communication inshore, offshore, and beyond coastal coverage.
  • Agile & Easy to Deploy — compact and lightweight with an advanced antenna design engineered for rapid installation in challenging environments where other systems cannot operate.
  • Intelligent Edge Processing — The SC2 utilises STM32-based edge computing with embedded TinyML enables real-time anomaly detection and decision-making directly on the device, reducing reliance on constant connectivity.
  • Optimised Power & Data Efficiency — ultra-low-power architecture and onboard data filtering minimise energy consumption and bandwidth usage, ideal for long-term deployments in constrained environments.
  • Integrated Cloud Platform & API — secure cloud dashboard and mobile app provide real-time monitoring, configuration, and control, with full API integration for enterprise and third-party systems.
  • Scalable, Future-Ready Architecture — designed to evolve with emerging connectivity standards and long-term deployment strategies.

Real-Time Connectivity for REM

Fishing industries worldwide face increasing pressure from regulators seeking to protect fish stocks, marine habitats, and wildlife. For all these fisheries the challenge is the same: proving that fishing activity is sustainable, within permitted zones, and accurately reported.

Remote Electronic Monitoring requires more than a vessel position. It demands real-time connectivity to reliably transmit gear activity, catch data, depth, temperature, and more. The SC2 Gen 3 is the communications backbone of a complete REM system — maintaining an unbroken connection through Iridium satellite when terrestrial networks drop, keeping your entire fishing operation connected and verifiable.

On board, the SC2 Gen 3 integrates with GIGO gear monitoring beacons, environmental sensors, and the Succorfish SC2 Data Platform to capture where you fish, when you fish, what you catch, and where your gear is at all times. Ashore, regulators and fleet managers access the same data in real time through the Succorfish cloud dashboard.

Your Succorfish Fleet Management System

The SC2 Gen 3 is the hub of the Succorfish ecosystem connecting vessel monitoring, gear tracking, subsea communication, and data management in a single integrated platform.

Transforming Data into Insight

Our Vessel Monitoring Platform built on the SC2 Gen 3 is designed to survive the harsh sea conditions that would disable lesser hardware. Its rugged housing withstands the shock, vibration, salt, and moisture of commercial fishing operations. An ultra-low-power architecture means batteries last longer between charges, reducing the interruptions and maintenance costs that come with equipment installed on working vessels. 

Once fitted, the SC2 Gen 3 is truly fit-and-forget. It provides continuous, tamper-proof records of where a vessel fishes, what gear is deployed, and for how long — data that fisheries own and access via the Succorfish platform. With this data easily accessible, data-driven decisions can be made, operational efficiency improved and proof of regulatory compliance becomes hassle free.

Innovation never stands still. 

Neither do we.

"The beauty of the Succorfish system is that the fishermen get access to their own data at no extra cost and this brings safety and other benefits too."
Chairman of the South West Inshore Fishermen’s AssociatioN

Vessel Monitoring Case Studies

Lobster Fishermen in Canada on Boat with Lobster Pots and tracking device

Lobster Fisheries in Canada

Lobster fishermen operating around Miscou Island, New Brunswick, and the neighbouring Nova Scotia fishing grounds face a recurring operational challenge: locating deployed pot strings in adverse conditions. Elevated sea states, strong currents, and poor visibility routinely increase search times, drive up fuel costs, and put valuable gear at risk of permanent loss. Succorfish deployed GIGO — a dedicated gear tracking and monitoring solution — integrated with the SC2 Vessel Monitoring System and the wider Succorfish Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) platform.

Industry-Led Innovation Supporting Commercial Abalone Fisheries

Australia’s commercial abalone fishery is one of the country’s most valuable and tightly regulated marine industries. Operating along the south-west coast, commercial divers work in demanding conditions where safety, accurate effort recording, and regulatory compliance are all critical. Succorfish deployed GIGO beacon technology integrated with the SC2 Vessel Monitoring System and the wider Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) platform to address these challenges head-on.
