For a globally coordinated approach to optimise maritime traffic control, port monitoring, decision-support and coastal security, even in the most demanding situations.

Wärtsilä Vessel traffic management system is designed to effectively manage vessel traffic in ports, harbours, and coastal areas. It provides tools for a coordinated, global approach to maritime traffic control, monitoring and decision support. This advanced technology enables port-to-port monitoring, control by enabling sharing of information between relevant stakeholders according to their needs and access level.

By utilising automated self-learning decision support technologies, Wärtsilä VTMS makes it possible to operate a ship traffic control model like that available in the aviation industry.

The cost-effective solutions are compliant with all IMO and IALA maritime traffic security regulation codes.

Wärtsilä VTMS are present in 330 Ports across 55 Countries

Key benefits

Globally coordinated system for vessel traffic control that enables information sharing between relevant stakeholders, as per need and access level.
Complete traffic overview with a combination of electronic chart overlay, vessel positions and sensor data
Dynamic information about the VTS area resulting from automatic processing and data fusion from various sensors increases awareness and safety.
Better traffic coordination with advanced management tools and distribution of shared data to several operations stations improves VTS teamwork.
Accurate detection, tracking and identification of small and high-speed targets by employing advanced technology.

Key features

Automatic processing and fusion of data from various sensors, such as radars, AIS, CCTV, RDF, GMDSS, weather stations, provide the operator with dynamic information about the VTS area.
Traffic management tools provide a basis for traffic coordination.
Communication equipment allows for interaction with vessels.
Advanced decision support system helps operators recognise a dangerous situation long before it escalates and thus increases safety.
3D VTS significantly enhances situational awareness.
Open interfaces enable information exchange between VTS and other services.
Recording system stores all data for post-voyage debriefing and accident analysis.

Components

How it works

Sensor sites collect information for the port area and approaches
Control Center integrates sensor data and provides traffic image to VTS operator
System enables the provision of VTS services in accordance with IALA recommendations

NEXT GEN VTMIS

The new generation of Ship Traffic Control and Management Solutions extends the safety and efficiency of navigation far beyond the limits of traditional coastal systems. So, ship movements can be advised and controlled by a country, even beyond territorial waters.

PMIS

Wärtsilä Voyage have developed a cutting-edge Port Management Information System (PMIS) featuring the Navi-Port system. A key aim is to facilitate just-in-time ship arrivals and enhance the port’s ship traffic control protocols.

As the economic and environmental benefits of just-in-time operations become increasingly clear to the maritime community, Wärtsilä will continue to invest in developing solutions which also help to support the IMO’s decarbonisation and greenhouse gas reduction strategies.
