Automated Vessel Traffic Services (AVTS)

Automated Vessel Traffic Services (AVTS) are advanced systems designed to monitor and manage the movement of ships in busy waterways and ports. Using radar, sensors, and satellite technology, AVTS provides real-time information about vessel locations, speeds, and routes. This helps prevent collisions, ensures safe navigation, and optimizes traffic flow, similar to how air traffic control manages airplanes. By automating many processes, AVTS enhances safety, efficiency, and environmental protection in maritime operations. It enables better coordination among vessels and authorities, making shipping safer and more effective.
