New vessel traffic system in final testing phase at Port of Vitória

The modern Navi-Harbor 4.6 3D vessel traffic monitoring and control system is already in the final testing phase at the Port of Vitória. According to CODESA’s VTS Management coordinator, Agostinho Sobral Sampaio, the new system is running in parallel to Indra’s Imare software, which currently operates the VTMIS (Vessel Traffic Information and Management System) in the Port of Vitória.

“The VTMIS team of operators and supervisors is undergoing various training courses to operate the Navi-Harbor, from the company Wartsila. The first phase took place in November, via the web, and in the second week of January, Russian engineer Dimitri Vinogradov, from Wartsila, will be here for the on-site phase and the conclusion of the course. From then on, the new system goes into operation for good,” explained Sobral.

Used in more than 300 ports worldwide, Navi-Harbor allows a three-dimensional view of the navigation situation, allowing the operator to observe the traffic of ships from a variety of different perspectives. Important: the Imare system will not be deactivated and can be used in cases of emergency in the operating system.

PMIS

Imare’s PMIS system data and information are being migrated to Navi-Harbor 4.6 PMIS, so that database records and integration with other CODESA internal and external systems like the Paperless Port (PSP), Maritime Traffic System of the Brazilian Navy (SISTRAM), and CODESA’s port management system.

PMIS is a tool that essentially helps the Port Authority, the VTS Manager, Allied Services, port operator, and other agents (Maritime Authority and service providers) to manage the stopovers: stopover authorization and departure dispatch, and assignment and monitoring of services provided vessel call (piloting, towing, mooring, etc.).

The new technology will make the control and monitoring of vessel traffic in the Port of Vitória even more efficient. Implemented in 2017, CODESA’s VTMIS, which covers the Port of Vitória, Tubarão Port Complex, and Praia Mole access channels, anchorage areas, and adjacent areas, has a 100% accident-free rate.
