VTS Operator

A VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) Operator is a maritime safety professional who monitors and manages ship traffic in busy or sensitive waterways, such as ports, harbors, or shipping lanes. Using radar, radio, and other communication tools, they track vessel locations, ensure safe distance between ships, and provide guidance or alerts to prevent collisions or accidents. Their role is crucial for maintaining efficient maritime operations and safety, especially in congested areas. VTS Operators coordinate between ships and port authorities to facilitate smooth, secure, and organized maritime traffic flow.
