The monitoring of this traffic is crucial for port authorities, maritime authorities, and shipping companies to guarantee safety, effectively manage congestion, allocate resources efficiently, and facilitate seamless maritime operations.
It is useful to know the maritime traffic for several reasons, including safety, security, environmental protection, and efficient port operations. The movement of ships, cargo, and personnel in a port can have a significant impact on safety and security. By monitoring maritime traffic, port authorities can identify potential risks, such as congestion, collisions, or the movement of unauthorized vessels, and take action to prevent accidents or incidents. Environmental protection is another important reason to monitor maritime traffic. Ports are major sources of air pollution, and knowing the traffic patterns can help authorities implement measures to reduce emissions, such as slowing down ships when they are near ports or requiring them to use cleaner fuels. Efficient port operations are also critical to the economy, and knowing the traffic patterns can help port authorities allocate resources effectively, such as directing ships to the appropriate berths and ensuring that cargo handling equipment is available when needed.
Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) is a comprehensive system designed to oversee and regulate vessel movements within specific maritime zones, typically encompassing ports and coastal regions. This sophisticated system integrates various technologies, including:
Seadex deciphers shipping line to ensure compliance with maritime regulations, industry standards, fuel consumption and risk management
Type a container number and see its spot on the map, latest status events, and when it should reach the next stop.
Enter a ship's IMO or MMSI and watch its live location, speed, and the port it's heading toward.
Pick start and finish ports to get a quick number showing how much CO2 that sea trip will create.
Choose any port and find out how many ships are queued, how long they wait, and if it's getting better or worse.
Calculate container charges based on type, arrival and pickup dates.
Calculate the estimated time of arrival (ETA) for your shipment.
