magazine Weekend Oz 17-18th. Article re Trawler fatalites.
Applies to Aviation as well..."Safety"...or Surveillance via ADSB ?
The Fishing industry was sold the "safety" benefits of the mandated VMS / Vessel Montitoring System.
Been used time and again re Zone infringemnts or close to.
When a trawler flips in bad seas and the signal ceases...no one is watching at night,
So NO SAR and no rescue ! Or very belated ... and of not much use to the already dead.
Marine industry should take a leaf from the aviation book and install 'Spider Tracks' (tm), "SeaSnail Tracs ? or similar where messages are instantaneous to a multitude of folk on cessation of signal, by text and email.
Whatever. It IS supposed to be all about 'safety'
