Transas Marine Installs a Vessel Traffic Management System in Togo
Transas Mediterranean in cooperation with its local partner SERAMAR have delivered a Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) to Port Autonome de Lomé. The System is installed in Lomé Port - the main point of exchange for the country.
During the tender process Transas offered a turnkey VTMS solution that was in full compliance with the terms of the tender and international guidelines for port VTMS.
The System is intended to monitor and regulate the maritime traffic flow in order to improve safety conditions in the area. High traffic density justifies the choice of sophisticated software able to improve port's efficiency.
Complementary to Transas worldwide proven traffic monitoring solution Navi-Monitor, the Lomé Port VTMS is equipped with a set of hardware components – a radar, an operator workstation, AIS and VHF equipment. In addition, Transas Marine specialists carried out a comprehensive operational and maintenance training for operators and technicians.
This project continues the range of successful VTMS installations conducted by Transas on African continent. "Rising safety and security concerns have made a significant shift in minds over the last few years. Ports are becoming even more conscious and take deliberate decisions in choosing suppliers of critically important safety systems. Transas is proud to be the VTMS supplier of choice for Libya, Morocco and Ivory Coast", says Christopher Loizou, Shore-Based Systems Business Unit Director, Transas Marine.
