An investment of R$ 16.5 million aims to integrate vessel traffic control at the Port of Rio Grande, one of Brazil’s key logistics hubs. Implementing the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) system, led by the Rio Grande do Sul Maritime Local Productive Arrangement Association (APL) in partnership with Portos RS, seeks to enhance efficiency and safety in port operations. According to APL’s coordination, the VTS will enable real-time monitoring of all vessels operating at the port, considering weather conditions and technical variables such as tides, wind, and draft. The technology will also provide more precise data to determine the safety of maneuvers, optimizing port productivity.
