Time Zero vessel surveillance for El Salvador

Spanish marine software company MaxSea is providing a TimeZero Coastal Monitoring system for the port of Acajutla, El Salvador.

The South American port was until recently only equipped with a surveillance system that consisted of a single AIS transmitter/receiver. To optimize the surveillance of merchant vessels entering and leaving a narrow shipping channel, a new maritime system was very much necessary.

The installation consisted of:

* 1 TZ CM radar + Record & Replay

* 4 TZ CM Remote

* 1 Furuno DRS25KW radar

* 1 AXIS camera

* 1 receiver/transmitter Furuno AIS FA150
