This is excellent. I'm suprised by the large numbers of surveillance gear types they have. EO/IR, Vessel Tracking Unit, Vessel Monitoring System, RDF, Automatic Voluntary Obeserving Ships system and of course their normal radar etc...

Yes I know a lot of these things are for SAR, fisheries and pollution monitoring, but they are dual use.
