Vessel Traffic Services (VTS)

VTS provides monitoring and management of vessel traffic in busy or sensitive areas, enhancing safety and efficiency. It uses radar, AIS, and communication systems to coordinate vessel movements. VTS supports collision avoidance, environmental protection, and emergency response. Technological advancements improve data integration and decision-support capabilities. Regulatory frameworks mandate VTS in certain areas, ensuring standardized operation. Training ensures proper operation and understanding. VTS is essential for managing maritime traffic, reducing risks, and promoting safe navigation in congested waters.
