Web VTS



Web VTS is a highly sophisticated web-based marine traffic monitoring system for ports and other organizations interested in monitoring real-time or historical vessel traffic.


WebVTS designed for vessel traffic and monitoring centers and increases the safety, security and efficiency of operations within a port.


WebVTS provides a complete AIS interface that includes the ability to:

  • View and track all AIS equipped vessels
  • Display specific vessel information

WebVTS assists port authorities and other traffic monitoring operators to:

  • Identify and track AIS equipped vessels
  • Provide additional information to assist collision avoidance and investigation
  • View archived/historical data
  • Make any operational decision or action
  • Provide full range of unique marine traffic reports

WebVTS’s interface and display of AIS related information offers port operators a substantial leap forward in their ability to communicate and interact with vessels. Since WebVTS is fully configurable, operators can adjust the size of the chart panel, customize color patterns for AIS targets, set alarms, create reports, filters, and zones specific to each user.


WebVTS is a unique tool to see your vessels from anywhere. The web-based architecture or WebVTS allows you to always see where your vessels are. And even if you are out of the office, you are in touch with your ships. A computer with an internet connection is all what is required.
