Method and a system for association of a telemetric device with a vessel

A remote system for automatically associating a telemetric device with a vessel, comprising:

• at least one database storing a vessel identity and a target location of each of a plurality of vessels,
• wherein the at least one database stores one or more vessel attributes associated with the vessel identity, the one or more vessel attributes comprising orientation information of the vessel;
• at least one remote system processor, the remote system processor in wireless communication with the telemetric device, wherein the remote system processor is configured to:
• obtain first location data of the telemetric device from the telemetric device that indicates a first location of the telemetric device;
• store the first location data in the at least one database;
• compare the first location data to one or more target locations stored in the at least one database;
• when the first location data overlaps one of the target locations, associate the telemetric device from which the first location data was received with the vessel identity associated with the matching target location, as stored in the at least one database;
• store the association of the telemetric device to the vessel identity in the at least one database as association data.

A method for automatically associating a telemetric device with a vessel, the method comprising:

• storing, in at least one database, a vessel identity and a target location of each of a plurality of vessels;
• obtaining, by at least one remote system processor in wireless communication with the telemetric device, first location data from the telemetric device, the first location data indicating a first location of the telemetric device;
• storing, in at least one database, the first location data of the telemetric device;
• comparing, by the remote system processor, the first location data to one or more target locations stored in the at least one database;
• associating, by the remote system processor, the telemetric device from which the first location data was received with a vessel identity of the vessel when the first location data overlaps one of the target locations such that the target location of the vessel is in at least a portion of the location of the telemetric device;
• and
• storing, in the at least one database, association data representing the association of the telemetric device with the vessel identity associated with the matching target location.

The method for automatically associating a telemetric device with the vessel, the method comprising:

• obtaining second location data of the telemetric device from the telemetric device that indicates a second location of the telemetric device;
• storing the second location data in the at least one database;
• comparing the second location data to the target location associated with the vessel identity of the telemetric device, as stored in the at least one database,
• when the second location data overlaps the target location of the vessel identity associated with the telemetric device from which the second location data was received;
• validating the association data associating the vessel identity to the telemetric device;
• storing validated association data in the at least one database as the validated association data,
• when the second location data does not overlap the target location of the vessel identity associated with the telemetric device from which the second location data was received;
• and
• disassociating the telemetric device from the vessel identity and storing the disassociation in the at least one database as disassociation data.
