PSMART

Port State Measures Analysis Risk Tool

Supporting PSMA implementation

The Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) is a powerful international treaty designed to block IUU fishing vessels from landing catch at ports. It’s vital for protecting marine ecosystems and curbing illegal seafood trade.

But implementation falls on authorities with limited capacity to track complex global fishing and transshipment operations. That’s where PSMART comes in.

Benefits

Accuracy + ease for port authorities

Our PSMA tool, codenamed “PSMART,” streamlines how analysts assess vessel-entry requests, investigate risks, and share insights with inspectors. Port authorities and analysts get targeted support for every step of PSMA implementation.

Accurate analysis of vessel activity and entry requests

Our platform processes port-entry requests (AREP) alongside billions of AIS data points to assess compliance, verify vessel identity and licensing, and flag suspected IUU activity using a rules engine covering thousands of regulations.

Machine learning that flags risk and cuts manual checks

PSMART detects high-risk patterns like transshipments or misreported fishing activity, cross-checking these against AREP declarations to uncover undeclared or unauthorised operations — all while reducing verification workload.

Decision-ready risk assessments and inspection guidance

Enforcement officials get clear, tailored risk reports identifying potential violations, along with inspection plans that help onboard teams collect key evidence and reach decisions quickly.

PSMA capacity building and implementation support

We provide training, hands-on assistance, and intelligence services to strengthen local teams over time, helping authorities fully manage AREP investigations and PSMA compliance independently.
