The GSM/GPRS based positional information system with integrated GPS receiver provides up-to-date location information for tracking the Tugs/ships in the port. It also allows emergency message transmission from Tugs/Ships/locomotives to Network Center. The system primarily consists of a GPS receiver integrated with a GSM Module fitted on the Tugs/ships.

The positional data acquired by the GPS receiver will be transmitted by modem as GPRS packet to network center.
