KUALA TERENGGANU: The installation of the Automated Identification System (AIS) on Zone B and C fishing vessels will be implemented starting from Jan 1 next year.
Fisheries Department Deputy director-general (Development) Zulkafli Abd Rashid said the installation of AIS was to identify, prevent local fishing vessels from straying into international waters as well as to ensure all catches were not illegally landed in other countries.
