Waterway Traffic Management

Waterway Traffic Management involves overseeing and coordinating the movement of vessels on navigable waterways such as rivers, canals, and seas. Its goal is to ensure safe, efficient, and orderly transit by monitoring vessel locations, controlling traffic flow, and providing navigation instructions. This is achieved through the use of radar, communication systems, and traffic schedules, helping to prevent collisions, reduce delays, and optimize route usage. It’s similar to air traffic control but for ships and boats, ensuring that all maritime traffic moves smoothly and safely within designated waterways.
