Domestic software developed by HAVELSAN for Turkish straits will also be used for Eastern Mediterranean Vessel Traffic Services Project in a way to cover Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and Eastern Mediterranean.
In his speech made on the occasion of the Day of the Seafarer, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Adil Karaismailoğlu stated that the software of the Turkish Straits Vessel Traffic Services will have been finalized by the end of the year, and thus the whole infrastructure will be nationalized and technological independence will be assured.
The Minister Karaismailoğlu said “This domestic software will be used not only for Turkish straits but also for Eastern Mediterranean Vessel Traffic Services Project that will encompass TRNC and Eastern Mediterranean, to which our government attaches great importance.”
Under the Turkish Straits Vessel Traffic Services (TSVTS) Project, whose prime contractor is HAVELSAN, HAVELSAN conducts upgrading/modernization of TSVTS’s system that is operated by the Directorate General of Coastal Safety of Republic of Turkey in order to enhance the safety and efficiency of maritime traffic and protect marine environment.
TSVTS system will process the data coming from various sensors including Radar, Electro-Optic (EO), VHF Radio, Automatic Recognition System (ARS), Radio Direction Finder (RDF), Meteorology etc. based in Istanbul and Çanakkale Vessel Traffic Services in a total of 26 areas and manage the strait traffic in the safest and most efficient way.
As part of the upgrading/modernization efforts for TSVTS, Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) software is currently being developed by HAVELSAN as a domestic product. The system uses the latest technological infrastructures and is now at the stage of Temporary Acceptance and Testing. It will come into service in 2020.
