Marine & Offshore EngineeringIntroduction
Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) are systems used to monitor and manage vessel movements in specific waterways or ports to enhance safety, prevent accidents, and optimize traffic flow. VTS operations typically include tracking vessels, providing navigational assistance, avoiding collisions, and coordinating search and rescue efforts.
Vessel Traffic Management Information Systems (VTMIS) are integrated technological systems that support VTS by gathering and processing data from various sources (like radar, AIS, weather systems) to provide real-time traffic monitoring, decision support, and incident management. VTMIS allows for more comprehensive, system-wide management of maritime traffic, ensuring safety, efficiency, and environmental protection.
In summary, VTS focuses on the real-time operational control of vessel traffic, while VTMIS provides the broader, integrated technology and data infrastructure to manage that traffic.
Objective
