Hali

POLE STAR Hali creates an environment of safety and security for small craft and the organisations responsible for them.

Protection and accountability are no longer luxuries. Hali combines terrestrial AIS, satellite AIS, and satellite M2M technology all into one affordable and reliable solution.

Created for small craft fleet owners and operators, maritime authorities, and enforcement agencies, Hali delivers vessel locations through coastal and satellite AIS transmissions, which are augmented with ORBCOMM satellite M2M messaging, ensuring complete vessel visibility to maximise maritime safety, security, and environmental compliance.

The Platform

• Hali is built on Pole Star’s enterprise-grade vessel tracking platform, which combines the three data sources (terrestrial AIS, satellite AIS, satellite M2M) to ensure unparalleled coverage.
• The platform is a secure web-enabled service, which allows you to establish detailed user permissions.
• It can Iter user-de ned leets, sub-leets and ports, and create custom zones. 

Safety & Enforcement Agencies

• Improve your search and rescue operations with a system that brings SOLAS safety to non-SOLAS vessels.
• Augment visibility of friendly vessels to reduce the number of non-cooperative targets in support of maritime domain awareness.
• Hali includes SOS functionality & can send a distress message instantly. Ensure that in an emergency situation you have accurate and up-to-date positional data.
• Surveillance of marine protected areas.

Fisheries Protection Agencies

• Enable compliance with AIS reporting requirements.
• Geofencing facilitates regulatory compliance within exclusion zones, as well as customisable zones.
• Mitigate risk and loss with increased safety and SOS alert capabilities.
