JouBeh Technologies Inc. of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia has achieved many significant achievements in terms of regulatory compliance and strategic growth over recent months, cementing their status as a premier player in maritime telematics - supporting fishing fleets, research vessels, offshore operations with reliable tracking and data services.
DFO Certification of iTrac VMS
JouBeh Technologies recently received certification from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for its Iridium-powered iTrac Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), assuring compliance with all Canadian regulatory requirements for vessel tracking operations.
The Iridium Satellite-Powered VMS uses this proven solution to provide global location reporting and monitoring, perfect for DFO-regulated fleets that need reliable reporting to stay compliant while enjoying high-performance tracking essential for fisheries management, safety, and operational efficiency.
Canada fishing vessels now enjoy reduced compliance burden, as this certification allows seamless integration of satellite-based monitoring without compromising performance or reliability. JouBeh's expertise as an Iridium Value Added Reseller (VAR) underscores system dependability in demanding marine environments.
