About Project Fisherman

Empowering Maritime Communities

Digitizing harbour logistics, eliminating price manipulation, protecting crew safety at sea, and enhancing offshore wellbeing.

Our Mission

Coastal fishing is one of the world's oldest and most essential industries, yet it remains hindered by fragmented communication, opaque pricing, and critical safety hazards.

Project Fisherman was founded to provide a modern, real-time software ecosystem that empowers everyone in the supply chain—from sea captains and harbour dalals to regulatory authorities and public consumers. Our mission is to digitize every dock, streamline pre-landing catch logistics, and save lives at sea through peer-to-peer distress networking.

Core Pillars

Price Transparency

Real-time dynamic Dalal market index ensuring fair prices for every kilogram landed.

High-Reliability SOS

Instant distress alerts routed to nearby vessels via mesh network and harbour authorities.

Solitary Wellbeing

Offline minigames, leaderboards, and entertainment modules to combat offshore isolation.

The Maritime Ecosystem & User Roles

Public Buyers
Consumers & Wholesalers

Gain real-time visibility into landed fish rates, availability by species, and local harbour arrival schedules without requiring registration.

Captains & Crew
Boat Crews

Log catch declarations in advance, monitor GPS telemetry, communicate via P2P inter-vessel chat, and activate emergency SOS signals.

Dalals (Agents)
Commission Agents

Manage live wholesale rate auctions, receive incoming catch notifications from active boats, and streamline harbour cold storage allocations.

Harbour Admin
Harbour Authorities

Maintain overall fleet oversight on interactive radar tracking, verify vessel compliance, handle permissions, and direct emergency rescue operations.

Technical Architecture & Design Principles

Hybrid Database Layer

Engineered with PDO abstraction, supporting enterprise MySQL/MariaDB deployments with zero-config SQLite fallback for offline port servers.

Mesh Communication Protocol

Utilizes local device-to-device Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Direct mesh links for peer vessel chatter and offline minigames when cellular range is lost.

Real-time Telemetry & Radar

LeafletJS map integration rendering live vessel coordinates, cruising speeds, operational states, and nautical safety radiuses.
