Electronic Fish Landing Dockets

Paper Dockets
are History.

xEFLD replaces paper-based fish landing dockets with a fully digital, auditable, and MPI-compliant web platform. From vessel to transport, every catch is captured, signed, and reported in real time.

Digital Dockets

End-to-end electronic landing records — no paper, no data re-entry.

MPI Compliant

Built to meet New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries requirements.

Azure AD SSO

Secure single sign-on — no separate credentials to manage.

How It Works

From Landing to Report in Four Steps

xEFLD guides users through a structured, validated form that captures everything required for a compliant fish landing record — then automatically generates and distributes reports to all relevant parties.

01

Vessel & Fisher

Record the vessel name, fisher details, landing date, port of landing, and the Fisheries Management Area — the foundation of every docket.

02

Transport & Conditions

Log the transport company, truck details, vehicle condition, icing status, and driver information — capturing the full chain of custody from wharf to processing.

03

Catch & Temperature

Enter each species, fish state (GRE/DRE/GUT/WRS/HGU), container and bin types, weights, and up to three temperature readings per species line.

04

Sign & Submit

Capture legally-binding digital signatures from both the fisher and the receiver on-screen, then submit — triggering instant report generation and email distribution.

  • Container and bin type classification
  • Weight recording per species line

Driver & Dual Signature

Driver information, then canvas-based digital signatures from both the fisher and receiver before submission.
