Vessel Traffic Information SystemBackground
•Operational Harbormaster Office (HMO) since 1932•All personnel are Port employees•HMO monitors vessel traffic on a 24/7 basis•HMO monitors all inbound and outbound vessels, as
well as vessels shifting within the Port•Vessel monitoring was initially done utilizing a Card
System and VHF Radio communication•Participation in system is voluntary; however, Port
has 100% participation•Predominate traffic is tank ship and tank barges•Card based traffic system was converted to
Computerized system in early 1990’s•Mid 1990’s Voice Recording was added•Late 1990’s added CCTV monitoring of Inner Harbor

Evaluation of Adding VTIS Began in 1995
Necessary to Improve Vessel Traffic Management and SafetyReviewed state of the art technologiesReviewed Capabilities Being Developed by USCG for Their VTS. (radar, closed circuit television systems & vessel transponder technology)Project Budget was Developed
![Page 18: PORT · PDF fileOPERATIONS INVOLVES Operation of Facilities ... System and VHF Radio communication ... Enhanced VHF-FM radio communications All signals are received](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042708/5aa6c8187f8b9a6d5a8b70ac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1999 the USCG Developed a Port Assessment Process Utilizing a Port Risk Model to Identify the Level of Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) NeededResults showed Federally Manned USCG VTS Not Needed, but a VTIS Would Provide the Needed Benefits

9-11-2001 Aftermath
Caused a Shift in Focus to Security and the Pursuit of Security GrantsElements of VTIS Have a Strong Security ComponentPursuit of Funding Moved to a New LevelAugust of 2003, Port Received a Special Appropriation of $3.6M for the VTIS

VTIS Project Funding
Administered through the USCG
Port as a Designated Sole Source Contractor will Provide VTIS Services to the Local USCG Office for (3) Years
VTIS is the First Port Owned and Operated Service in the Nation
