I'm sure nobody on here trades, despite apparently being on the board all day.

[hjb1] 19/9/2016 15:13

just MM making a few quid, but it's at ever lower levels it seems!

[obiterdicta] 19/9/2016 15:05

HJB1

But it's closer to 30p than 60p now - so you are stacking the odds in your favour.

The current moves are on low volume so I am ignoring the market. Predicting short term price moves is a mugs game.

I'll wager that it will be closer to 30p on poor update.

[obiterdicta] 19/9/2016 14:37

Don't believe anyone who says they can predict the price action.

This may go to 30p in its next move, it may go to 60p.

A poor update could see 30p or it could have a bounce as a poor update priced in.

Another contract win and it bounces back above high of 60p.

Who knows? Certainly no one on this board.

yump/chump....don't trade mate...and already said it could go to 30p..please keep up will ya! lol.

[yump] 19/9/2016 13:15

Then you'll be able to trade it again.

Why not say 30p and have done with it.

[hjb1] 19/9/2016 12:47

I'm not expecting anything either, that's why I think the share price will go lower.

[kalkanite] 19/9/2016 12:17

To be honest I'm not expecting anything from the update for the first 6 months, but keen to hear how the Indonesian project is developing.

As mentioned many times on here, the value of SRT is all about conversion of at least some of the VSP over the next 12 months.

[kalkanite] 19/9/2016 11:53

Shhhhhhhs

I'm trying to fill a buy order at 42.5p but I think I left it too late.

EDIT: Have you just received your back of the sofa money LaV?

[hjb1] 19/9/2016 11:44

as predicted, people fed up and moving on before update arrives.I can't see 40p holding at this rate?

"The Netherlands announced $1 million for the development of a device called a “black box” that can be installed on fishing boats to continuously monitor and track vessels and provide opportunities to improve compliance with fisheries regulations".

What's that all about then?

[kalkanite] 16/9/2016 17:33

Thanks LaValmy

That's an interesting point that I was not aware of.

Broadly speaking yes, in the new fishing fleet applications, which are really more national governments protecting their EEZ's and their onshore security, the collision avoidance origin of AIS has been more or less abandoned.

Identification has not been dropped at all, far from it, but it is the government that identifies not other boats.

In contrast, in the West where AIS might take off as something useful for boat-owners to avoid colliding with each other, it is essential that all boats potentially colliding witn yours are seen by you and identified so that you can call them directly by name.

Neither market has yet taken off, but it looks like the project-based adoption will happen long before significant voluntary adoption.

[kalkanite] 16/9/2016 16:09

"The bulk of the small boats will be fitted such that the authorities can see them, but they cannot see each other"

The original idea of AIS being an anti collision device and enabling a boat to communicate by name across a radio frequency does not exist on the fishing fleet then?

I appreciate that AIS is expanding its ability as a service but I am somewhat surprised that identification has been dropped for fishing fleets to protect their favoured fishing locations.

The bulk of the small boats will be fitted such that the authorities can see them, but they cannot see each other, and the data will be encrypted so that only the country that paid for the installation will be able to idenify their own boats. One of the major angsts that fishermen had was precisely that other fishermen would learn of their favorite spots. On the other hand, this puff spins it as fishermen looking out for their comrades, law-abiding other local fishermen, which reduces the big brother aspect.

All that said, the paragraph you highl;ight is incongruous in the way it seems to mirror what SRT are doing. Indonesia first, tick. Malaysia next (cue SRT's recent photo) etc.

[kalkanite] 16/9/2016 13:39

I'm cherry picking a part of the above report but the following looks very much like the region that SRT have in contract (Indonesia) and the VSP


"The mFish initiative will enable small scale and artisanal fishermen with mobile technology services and applications to report illegal fishing activities. Applications and services will initially be available in Indonesia with plans to expand availability to Malaysia then across south, south-east Asia, Africa and Latin America. Reports of illegal fishing activity will be shared with relevant government authorities for follow up."

I assume that the mobile technology will be of little use without a fishing boat being able to identify (or rather "not identify") a fellow licensed boat. Surely that is where the ability of class B AIS devices mounted on all licensed fishing boats will be a necessity, thus making it easier to I.D. illegal fishing boats.

May be rose tinted glasses so happy to be shot down on this one.

Global Fishing Watch is very interesting. It kindof does all the monitoring for free !

It seems they have little difficulty in picking up the AIS signals. Presumably these are just the large fishing boats.

They say:
''Over the course of the year, 200,000+ vessels, including more than 35,000 known or likely commercial fishing boats, broadcast their position, course, and speed through AIS. Fleets of satellites record these broadcasts and transmit the information to Earth.
37+ billionais messages processed
step-2 data processing

22+ million data points are added to the system every day. Using cloud computing and machine learning, Global Fishing Watch processes the data, identifying which vessels are fishing boats, and when and where they are fishingicon info.
4.5+years of data
step-3 engage


Once the data are visualized on Global Fishing Watch, anyone can track fishing activity across the globe.''

I think you could be right this has probably got a fair way to drop yet as profits a year or so away and price is currently a little overheated-but who knows..

[hjb1] 16/9/2016 12:01

the big question is, just how low this will go? I fear a bit as I think the update will be poor for first half and all those small PI's who have come onboard recently will lose interest and lower and lower we will go.

World's first certified 5W SOTDMA AIS Class B ..
________________________________________
SRT Marine Systems plc, the global leaders in Automatic Identification System (AIS) announces the launch of the WORLD'S FIRST FULLY CERTIFIED SOTDMA CLASS B AIS transceiver with enhanced 5W transmit power.






The AIS communication protocol is specified by the ITU and individual product types by a range of IEC specifications. The latest ITU and IEC AIS standards now specify two different types of AIS Class B transceiver. The long standing CSTDMA Class B with 2W transmit power is defined by IEC62287-1 and the new SOTDMA Class B with 5W transmit power is defined by IEC62287-2. The main difference between the two is that the SOTDMA Class B, reserves a free transmit slot prior to transmitting and transmits at a higher power: 5 Watts instead of 2 Watts.

As with all SRT AIS solutions, the new SOTDMA Class B is available to customers in a range of convenient and flexible solution formats each of which can be extensively customised for specific brand, functionality and performance requirements.
• ARTEMIS: a fully integrated IPx7 waterproof SOTDMA Class B with full charting, WiFi, target overlay and management functionality and SRT’s unique MOB & SART alert and management system
• NEONII: an integrated IPx7 waterproof SOTDMA Class B black box transceiver – with optional WiFi connectivity
• COBALTII: a miniature SOTDMA Class B transceiver module
The new SOTDMA Class B has been tested and certified by BSH in Germany who are the world’s most respected and experienced independent AIS technology test organisation. This exhaustive, independent testing and certification ensures that a product complies with all the requirements of the relevant ITU and IEC standards which is critical for reliable real world performance and interoperability.

Simon Tucker, SRT Marine Systems CEO said: “SRT continues to lead the world of AIS technology and product development and innovation such that our customers always have access to the best AIS products with the best performance. Our new SOTDMA Class B transceivers use SRT’s advanced SDR core technology platform which ensures they can be extensively customised, and further enhanced to accommodate future changes to the AIS standards through software updates.”

Owenski

The way I look at it eE (or Comdev/Hisdesat) had two options:

raise $400 million or so to put up a constellation of their own or

piggyback on the Iridium system for $10 million upfront (I think)

Either way, they need the AIS and other maritime channels to work commercially for them or they go bust. So option two is the more sensible.

I also think that te bulk of those countries who want tracking but don't have their own systems will choose the eE package. It is after all AIS specific and 'real-time' globally, which gives the decollision more goes. At the AGM, Neil confirmed that success in getting a message from a particular Identifier is simply a matter of how many attempt you get. Iridium will be overhead all the time.
