Vessel Traffic Systems

Vessel Traffic Systems (VTS) are organized, real-time monitoring and management services used in busy waterways like ports and harbors. They utilize radar, cameras, and communication tools to track ship movements, prevent collisions, and improve safety. VTS operators coordinate vessel traffic, provide navigation advice, and respond to emergencies. By maintaining situational awareness of marine traffic and conditions, VTS helps ensure smooth, efficient, and secure maritime operations, much like air traffic control does for airplanes.
