Marine Traffic Control

Marine traffic control refers to the management and regulation of waterway traffic, ensuring the safe and efficient movement of vessels on oceans, rivers, and lakes. It involves monitoring boat and ship movements, providing navigational assistance, and enforcing maritime laws to prevent collisions and accidents. Similar to air traffic control for airplanes, marine traffic control uses radar, GPS, and radio communications to keep track of ships, relay important information to captains, and coordinate responses to emergencies. This system is crucial for protecting lives, property, and the marine environment.
