Introduction

Can the three criteria of Cost, Efficiency and Safety be realistically achieved or will one element suffer?

Does putting in a VTS deliver the Safety and Efficiency required and do we benefit in terms of Cost?

Analysis

Are we using the traffic image to effectively manage maritime safety

Are we using the traffic image to manage vessel traffic efficiently

Are we getting our money’s worth

Tomorrow‘s VTS

Integrated Database

Integrated Events Detection and Management

Common Operational Picture

Systems must provide integration and decision support to Vessel Traffic Services and Port operations in real time, through a common operational picture which facilitates collaborative planning and assists all users to achieve the situational awareness necessary to optimise safety and efficiency if it’s to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s Ports

Tomorrow‘s VTS (Database)

Provides effective operation of contingency response

Facilitates vessel traffic management and analysis

Facilitates the promulgation of navigational safety information

Provides efficiency of port operations and services

Provides communications and data exchange among all port users

Conclusions

Processing - intuitive operator systems and controls

Filtering - operators receive essential information only

Reasoning - provide information to guide

Supporting – supports the decision making process
