GOST System Tracks Stolen Boat in Abacos

GOST (Global Ocean Security Technologies), celebrating its 10th year as a world leader in marine security, tracking, monitoring and video surveillance systems, announced today the successful recovery of a stolen vessel in the Bahamas. On April 10, 2015, a 32-foot Contender equipped with the GOST NT-Evolution 2.0 security tracking system was stolen out of the Abaco area of the Bahamas.

Unfortunately the system that triggers the siren and strobe was disarmed as the boat was in the process of being serviced. The GOST system tracked the vessel to a nearby island where it was ditched due to mechanical failure on one of the 350 Yamaha engines.

Individuals are then issued a tamper-resistant credential containing the cardholders biometric fingerprint data, which provides a conclusive link between the card and the individual cardholder. To date, more than 2 million of these credentials have been issued.

All Set Tracking Launches New Electronic Seal

In order to meet upcoming requirements for container security, All Set Tracking has developed the ALLTrack e-Seal that will make electronic sealing easy and flexible. The completely new design takes into account the needs of ocean carriers, port operators and shippers both in terms of technical performance and cost efficiency. The new e-Seal is permanently installed on the container and does not use the traditional door locking mechanism at all, which can continue to be sealed using a simple, wire seal in wide use today. The e-Seal uses the same ultra-low power radio “Bluetoothä Lite” transmitter used in the ALLTrack Tag and Reader. Not known to many, current draft standard for electronic seals completely lack wireless data security!
