Vessel Traffic Services/Local port services

Kongsberg Norcontrol is a world leader in providing Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) systems to ports, coastal areas and inland waterways, ensuring safe navigation and efficient operations in maritime domain. For ports that do not have VTS responsibilities, we also offer state of the art management systems for monitoring and managing vessel traffic. 

Maritime traffic is increasing, ships are getting bigger and port congestion is intensifying. VTS operators constantly need to understand and manage a growing traffic image, knowing how to react if something is to happen. In these situations, it is necessary to have tools and equipment that provide strong decision support and situational awareness.
