Maritime, Port & VTS Solutions

Proven expertise in maritime, port, and VTS domains

Shared System has developed strong expertise combining VTS feasibility studies, the definition of technical specifications, and the design and implementation of maritime and port information systems. We support maritime and port authorities in delivering solutions dedicated to maritime safety, traffic monitoring, and efficient port operations.

Our scope also includes the development of maritime information systems for ship and seafarer registry management, enabling secure and centralized management of regulatory, operational, and administrative maritime data. These systems support vessel registration, fleet monitoring, certification processes, and seafarer career management, in compliance with national and international regulatory frameworks.

Our approach is based on in-depth analysis of operational needs, navigational risks, and regulatory constraints, fully aligned with applicable international standards (IMO, IALA). Where relevant, we leverage advanced analytics and Artificial Intelligence to enhance maritime data exploitation, operational visibility, and decision-making.

VTS côtier Sud Maroc (Tan-Tan – Dakhla)

Feasibility study for the South Morocco coastal VTS system (Tan-Tan – Dakhla)

Feasibility study delivered by CID and Shared System for the design of a coastal VTS system covering over 800 km of Atlantic coastline. The project strengthens maritime safety, traffic monitoring, and marine environmental protection. The study defined an optimized VTS architecture based on risk analysis, RADAR, AIS and maritime radio coverage studies, and detailed technical specifications.

Technical assistance for the VTS system at the Port of Nouadhibou

Technical assistance provided by Shared System to review and strengthen the technical specifications of the Port of Nouadhibou VTS system. The assignment ensured compliance with IALA and IMO standards and optimized the system’s performance, coverage, and resilience.

FAQ

A Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) system is a maritime traffic monitoring service that provides situational awareness and safety coordination for vessels in designated waters. Shared System delivers VTS feasibility studies, technical specifications, system architecture design, and full implementation — compliant with IMO and IALA standards. Our VTS projects include the Tan-Tan–Dakhla coastal VTS feasibility for Morocco and the Port of Nouadhibou VTS technical assistance for Mauritania.
