CLS America at Hines Marine —
Satellite tracking and monitoring for vessels at sea.
CLS is the global operator behind Argos satellite tracking and a long list of maritime monitoring services — vessel monitoring systems, satellite tracking beacons, fisheries data reporting and ocean observation. Their North American arm, CLS America, supports the hardware and airtime that keeps vessels reporting no matter how far offshore they run. We supply, install and support CLS equipment aboard.

Not a catalogue — this is what actually goes into the packages we build, pulled from the vessels on our fleet page.
Triton Advanced Terminal (VMS)
One of the world's leading Vessel Monitoring Systems. The Triton automatically transmits position, speed and heading over the Iridium network with 100% global coverage, and the Advanced version with the junction box also sends and receives catch reports, emails and weather bulletins on demand from an Android tablet over Bluetooth or a laptop over USB. Geofencing and assistance alarms, remote access to terminal parameters and archived positions, operating status indicator and system test button, minimum 100 hours of battery life, up to 180 days of onboard data memory, certified by European authorities, 1 year warranty.
Reporting only counts if it never stops.
We site the antenna with a clear sky view away from radar and VHF, feed it from a protected circuit that survives an engine start, and confirm the reports are landing before we leave the boat.
