“…Obtaining the position of the fishing vessels at all times is achievable today on account of the information provided by the Automatic Identification System for Vessels (AIS) [12][13][14] and, in the case of Spanish fishing vessels, by the blue box of these vessels which is constantly transmitting the position to the Fisheries Monitoring Centre in Madrid (Centro de Seguimiento de Pesca (CSP)). It is also possible to obtain the positioning of these ships by satellite services [15][16][17].…”

The safety of people working at sea is a subject on which many studies have been carried out. One of the current improvements that has been implemented is the possibility of assigning medical support assistance vessels during specific periods of time, whilst undergoing certain activities or peak seasons in the industry such as fishing seasons. This article proposes an aid system that will support decision making when determining the positioning of such vessels at configurable time intervals, thus shortening the emergency response time. Real data from the vessels, such as coordinates, number of crew, type of fishing gear, etc., are used to carry this out. With the scope of testing the system out, real data from the Spanish fishing fleet in the Bay of Biscay and the medical support assistance vessels available to the Spanish State have been used throughout different seasons. The results obtained convey the “standby” positions for these vessels. The following study of this comparative positioning enables us to calculate the differences between the coordinates calculated by the system and the real positions specified throughout the fishing season. The study also reviews the possibility of improving the emergency response time that would be gained, by increasing the number of medical support assistance vessels for the same area, during the same period.
