Aquatrack is an integrated monitor and report system installed along the main waterways and seaports all over Europe. It provides realtime location based services from a network of dedicated AIS remote receiving stations and a detailed overview of vessels in the vicinity of the control officer at the water. It shows ship symbols on a map displaying not only obvious matters as ship name, speed and direction but also a qualification about operational aspects based on the findings of previous inspections. This happens in coloured "aura's" surrounding the symbols related to a broad spectrum of operational interests like general enforcement, environmental perpectives and combating crime.

Aquatrack is developed on behalf of AQUAPOL, a network organisation of European water police and related law enforcement agencies. In its proffesional carreer the technical segment was designed by the holder of this website as a proof of concept. The first idea for the concept arose in 2013 and in the years that followed it was actually put into practice. With the transfer to France, all involvement of the inventor has lapsed and the information here is limited to just some generalities and a few technical glimpses. The official website can be visited at

The nul-series of the remote receiving station was an assembly of an OEM AIS-receiver, a small Linux computer board, a GPS/G3-chip fitted together in an aluminium box.

Ultimately, several variants were derived from culminating in experimental designs with dedicated AIS-frontend and integrated ARM controllers for digital signal processing, information and communication handling.

The central webserver of the system was based on ASP.NET/MVC (and later.NET Core) with OpenLayers for map presentation. All the software development was made in-house. The same goes for all of the hardware design, electronic engineering, CAD/CAM art-work, PCB assembly and the final production of prototypes and nul-series!

As stated before, the forementioned founder and holder of this website has no longer involment nor any commercial interest in Aquatrack, AIS or aequipment derived from it. This webpage is just intended to keep honoring its name.
