MarineTrack - Now your Yacht is just a click away !

Yacht owners have been waiting with baited breath for some gizmo that would allow them to keep a watch on their mega-million pride possessions via a computer screen.

MARINETRACK - the name says it all...recently at the Mumbai International Boat Show, one of India's premier yacht management company West Coast Marine have tied-up with MarineTrack and have gotten exclusive dealership to this product that allows a complete and accurate security and tracking system for your yacht through the convenience of even your Home PC.


A cost-effective and simple-to-install option, MarineTrack was founded in 1998 by a team of telematic engineers and has become one of the world's leading suppliers of satellite tracking and ship security alert systems.

West Coast Marine, a company that has been serving the Indian yachting fraternity loyally since the last 14 years, foresees practical implementation of this product due to the vast trace-ability and alarm-systems offered.

MARINETRACK

MarineTrack offers a single solution and has developed an innovative product range aimed at the recreational and leisure marine sector. A user-friendly web-based interface that not only tracks a boat but is also has more functional aspects attached to it - all attainable through simple plug and play options.

MarineTrack's unique marine-based application is characterised by a 24-hour, 365-day online tracking and monitoring, compact hardware design, simple plug-&-play hardware additions, flexible subscriptions to meet customers requirements and secure web log-in for every customer.

To most people their boats are their passion, their asset. They invest huge sum of money and with an open mooring harbour like Mumbai, concerns about security have been rising. With Marine Track, you don’t have to sit in the office or lie awake at night worrying if their prize possession is still in it's berth.


VESSELTRACK

MarineTrack's applications are purposefully made in order to optimise the use of the device with regards to the customer's needs.

VesselTrack enables you to set a virtual perimter fence called Geofence around your vessels moorings. Should the vessel move out of this geofence you will be notified by SMS. In the event of theft you are able to pinpoint and track its position to assist authorities in its recovery. An added personal benefit could be the fact that this even allows your friends and family to track your progress via the website whilst you are at sea, offering total peace of mind.

GEOFENCE

The Geofence is an invisible perimeter to secure unattended vessel. You receive a distress text alert on your mobile in the event of your vessel being moved outside this perimeter. Plug-ins to VesselTrack allow you to ALERT authorities if your personal security is compromised, INTRUDER notification if some one enters your vessel without notification, MONITOR bilge levels and even has a MESSENGER feature that allows you to send/ receive texts message while at sea.

RACETRACK

Meanwhile, RaceTrack enables you to observe and monitor the progress of a regatta online. Brings this previously limited spectator sport into the online area. This has a flexible ownership plan where you can rent it on 'per boat per race' basis. Parameters such as individual performance, weather reports are on-screen. Commercially, an added advantage is that it allows corporate sponsorship on the web interface that is used to interact and track positions.

CHARTERTRACK

CharterTrack gives real time updates of your entire charter fleet, maintaining optimum asset management in the bargain. Accounting of how much distance has been covered and engine usage can be some other factors monitored through it.

PLUG AND PLAY...THE MARINETRACK WAY!

The online interface can be accessed using a password-protected asset and fleet manangement system. This system offers a complete control and configuration of MarineTrack empowering the user to take total control.
