An extensible component-based platform for a wide  

range of Vessel Traffic Management Solutions

Vessel  Traffic  Services  (VTS)  ensure  the  safety  of  maritime  operations,
improve  the  efficiency  of  navigation,  and  protect  the  marine
environment.  VTS  is  especially  important  for  those  areas  where  traffic
congestion  increases  the  risk  of  incidents  or  where  the  environmental
consequences of an incident could be severe. Due to the potential risk of
human  casualties  and  long  lasting  environmental  effects  caused  by
maritime disasters, public pressure on government and local authorities
has  increased  .  Subsequently,  the  demand  for  VTS  systems  throughout
the coastal traffic highways of the world is also growing. VTS systems are
no  longer  reserved  only  for  major  ports,  waterways,  and  maritime
authorities  but  are  increasingly  significant  for  a  wide  array  of  smaller
though equally important maritime service providers.
