Save time and fuel when operating your fishing vessel
Since 1997, GeoEye has been developing and providing fish-finding solutions tailored
to the unique needs of pelagic fishing operations worldwide. These services
are used successfully by purse seiners, longliners, trolling vessels and mid-water
trawlers to minimize search time and reduce fleet operating costs. The SeaStar
Fisheries Information Service combines ocean plankton data with oceanographic
and meteorological data sets from several other satellite imaging systems. The
SeaStar oceanographic imagery products are processed daily by GeoEye’s team of
oceanographers, and are delivered directly to your vessel at sea for viewing on the
ship’s personal computer.
To maximize the use of the information, GeoEye provides the OrbMapTM software,
training and technical support to all customers. OrbMap software enables captains
and fleet managers to view and manipulate the map layers, easily translating
satellite imagery and oceanographic data into smart fishing decisions.

GeoEye creates SeaStar Fish Finding Maps with oceanographic information from several satellites
and other sources - OrbMap.
Display and interpret the ocean and weather condition with OrbMap software, which includes:
- C-MAP nautical charts
- 3D oceanographic data views
- MasterCast fishing ground analysis tool
- Oceanographic analysis and recommendations
Example of OrbMap charts:
- Ocean plankton concentrations (ocean color)
- Sea surface temperatures
- Sea surface currents
- Sub-surface temperatures
- Thermocline depth estimates
- Sea surface height anomalies (altimetry)
- Ocean salinity estimates
- Comprehensive marine weather and forecasts
SeaStar Pro Service
Provides commercial grade oceanographic and weather information for many types of
pelagic fishing vessels. The SeaStar Pro Service includes oceanographic maps delivered
daily (showing areas of high fish-finding probabilities), detailed oceanographic analysis
performed by GeoEye’s oceanographers, OrbMap software for viewing and manipulating
map data, and technical support and training from GeoEye staff, international agents
and business partners. GeoEye offers this stand alone data service with accurate and detailed
weather forecast information delivered by email to vessels at sea.
OrbMap Software with MasterCast:
With the easy-to-use OrbMap software, captains can combine their local knowledge with the digital oceanographic map data to
create customized images showing where fish are likely to concentrate or gather. OrbMap 7 includes MasterCast, an interactive
tool which automatically analyzes oceanographic data and identifies fishing grounds based on the captain’s preferred conditions.
OrbMap has a NMEA interface for the onboard GPS device. OrbMap also supports 14 languages.
