The SeaCOP solution provides the functionality expected from an advanced Vessel Traffic Management and Information System (VTMIS) and enables vessel monitoring and management for both coastal areas, waterways, and ports. VTMIS is essential for the uninterrupted flow of goods and passengers and is a key contributor to a port’s overall performance.

In an increasingly busy and complex maritime traffic situation, VTS operators need to focus on important events through an easy and intuitive user-interface. Tomorrow’s operators may not have many years of experience onboard ships as navigators but are in many ways even better prepared with years of experience with software applications and different types of user-interfaces integrating large amounts of sensor data. The human ability to digest digital information faster and more precisely is increasing with this new generation of operators. NORBIT Aptomar has taken this into consideration when designing their new vessel traffic management and information system. SeaCOP provides efficient and safe decision support for the VTS operators to identify potentially dangerous situations fast and clearly, hence giving them the ability to provide the correct information to the ship’s masters in a timely manner for safe and efficient navigation.

The SeaCOP solution is highly flexible and will benefit ports of all sizes. It integrates standard VTMIS functionality with the other key applications like Environmental Monitoring and Security, making it a unique solution that takes the global sustainability challenges seriously.
