Marine

Whether you're managing fishing vessels, cargo boats, yachts, or maritime service fleets, GPS technology is now essential for safe, efficient, and compliant marine operations. At Zard, we offer advanced, CST-licensed GPS tracking solutions for the marine sector—tailored to meet the unique demands of vessels operating across Saudi Arabia’s coastal and offshore waters.

Our platform helps marine operators monitor real-time vessel locations, improve crew safety, enhance logistics, and reduce operational risks—whether in port, along the coast, or far offshore.

Why GPS is Critical in the Marine Industry

The marine environment presents challenges like:

• Loss of communication in remote or offshore zones

• Difficulty tracking vessel locations or route deviations

• Illegal use of boats or off-schedule movement

• Slow emergency response in distress situations

• Fuel inefficiencies and route mismanagement

Zard’s GPS system ensures real-time visibility, data-driven decision-making, and asset protection, even under challenging maritime conditions.

Key Features of Marine GPS Tracking

• Real-Time Vessel Tracking
  Monitor vessels 24/7 with precise positioning via satellite and cellular networks—even in deep-sea or low-coverage areas.

• Route History & Playback
  Review historical routes, speeds, and stops. Identify deviations or confirm compliance with fishing or commercial routes.

• Geofencing of Ports & Marine Zones
  Set virtual boundaries around fishing zones, port entrances, or restricted areas. Receive instant alerts when vessels enter or exit.

• Emergency Alerts & SOS Support
  Enable quick distress alerts and real-time location sharing in emergencies for faster rescue coordination.

• Fuel Usage Monitoring
  Track fuel consumption, idling time, and optimize routes to reduce unnecessary fuel costs.

• Weather & Sea Conditions Integration (optional)
  Integrate data for route planning based on weather and sea state (via 3rd-party maritime APIs).

• Cloud Dashboard & Mobile App Access
  Manage your marine assets from shore using a simple interface with map views, reports, and alert systems.
