Can Olfish-DDL be customized to my requirements?
Yes, the DDL is highly configurable and can be customized to cater for any data logging requirements. Vessel-related operations (fishing, observation, maintenance etc) can be as simple or as complex as required, and the DDL will still deliver efficient and accurate data collection capabilities.

However, the vessel version allows for simplified real-time data entry to further ease data collection in volatile weather and general onboard conditions. The shore version allows for the collation of different vessels’ data in the same straightforward interface.
