MaxSea TimeZero Professional v4 has now been released. This now has a very powerful oceanographic display. In addition to the standard (free) weather downloads, it is now possible to subscribe to oceanographic data such as sea surface temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, phytoplankton, etc. The values of these can be ‘tuned’ to display suitable fishing areas. In addition, if a vessel has a good catch, the conditions at that location can be saved and the system will show other locations with similar conditions.

In addition to the above, TimeZero Professional v4 also has new Furuno DDF3D and WASSP modules and can now accept hardness data from a large range of sounders. It can also be supplied with a Marport module which will show the position of the trawl doors.
