Fleetware Launches Maritime Tracking Solutions to Boost Safety and Compliance
At Fleetware, our focus has always been on solving real-world challenges with technology that works. While we’re well known for GPS tracking, IVMS (In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems), and fatigue management, our consultative approach means we never stop looking for ways to create solutions that fit unique business needs.
Recently, this approach opened the door to a new industry: maritime operations.
From Road Fleets to Harbour Vessels
A long-term customer, already using Fleetware IVMS and fatigue cameras to manage their road fleet, raised a pressing issue during a consultation. Their business also operates dredging boats and barges in a busy harbour, where drifting into shipping lanes was becoming a significant safety and compliance risk.
Unlike trucks, barges face additional challenges such as strong currents, anchor drag, and unplanned drift. Standard GPS tracking was not enough. They needed a system designed specifically for the water.
Custom Tracking for Barges and Marine Assets
Working hand-in-hand with the customer, our team developed a tailored maritime tracking solution. Using advanced GPS and monitoring technology, the system now allows operators to:
- Monitor barge position in real time
- Receive instant alerts if vessels drift into restricted zones or shipping lanes
- Track movement direction, including left, right, or rotational drift
- Detect when anchors loosen or lose grip
With these insights, operators can take immediate action, prevent costly incidents, and strengthen compliance with harbour safety standards.
The Impact of Smarter Tracking
This project shows what sets Fleetware apart. We don’t just deliver off-the-shelf products. We listen, collaborate, and design solutions that truly meet operational needs.
From fatigue management on the road to barge stability at sea, our goal is to give businesses the confidence and control they need to operate safely and efficiently.
Expanding the Fleetware Product Suite
With the introduction of maritime tracking, Fleetware continues to expand its suite of intelligent solutions. Alongside IVMS, fatigue cameras, fuel tax credit reporting, and asset management, our new marine technology brings peace of mind to companies operating in high-risk environments.
If your business faces unique tracking challenges, on land or water, Fleetware is ready to help.
