Navi-Harbour Vessel Traffic Management System, designed for ports, harbours, coastal areas. Better port efficiency also for high-traffic ports and congested waterways.

Navi-Harbour Vessel Traffic Management System

The Navi-Harbour Vessel Traffic Management System from Wärtsilä is an effective solution for managing vessel traffic in ports, harbours, and coastal areas. It improves port efficiency and offers you tools for better marine traffic control and monitoring.

Navi-Harbour is great for ports with heavy traffic and a wide variety of vessels because it helps port managers control the traffic efficiently. It offers a clear overview of the situation even when traffic is heavy and a lot of data is coming in from vessels and port sensors. 

Navi-Harbour can track ships and other vessels accurately and offers advanced management tools. Making decisions becomes easier and faster. The result: better coastal security and safety.

Operators will also appreciate the Navi-Harbour system because it will be smoother and easier to share information between stakeholders according to their needs and access levels. This makes for effective port coordination and management.

Your benefits from Navi-Harbour

Saves effort: The solution gives a complete view of the traffic situation, vessel positions and sensor data with electronic chart overlays. Navi-Harbour uses cutting-edge technology to detect, identify and track targets ranging from small, high-speed boats to large vessels. Knowing the situation accurately and the advanced management tools mean better traffic control with less effort.

Saves time: Smooth communication and exchange of relevant data means that stakeholders have the necessary information. Teams work better together, decision-making is faster and vessel traffic management more efficient.

Improves safety: The solution processes and intelligently combines the data from sensors, providing proactive alerts and visual aids on potential risks. The result: better safety thanks to better situational awareness.

How Navi-Harbour VTMS works

Navi-Harbour gets information of the coastal and/or port area from a range of sensors and systems such as radars, Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), Marine Radio (VHF, MF/HF), closed-circuit television (CCTV).

The control centre in the Navi-Harbour solution integrates the information and builds a comprehensive picture of the maritime traffic within a port. 

Because Navi-Harbour gives operators a full situational picture in real time, they can easily assign safe routes, anchorages and berths to vessels. It will also alert them if vessels stray from an assigned route.

Navi-Harbour is also a central communication hub: vessels and port authorities can exchange important information using the VTMS. In case of an incident, it is a vital communication hub when coordinating the response.

  • Dynamic data fusion: Automatically process and integrate data from various sensors, including radars, AIS, CCTV, RDF, GMDSS, and weather stations, to provide real-time information about the VTS area
  • Advanced traffic management tools: Facilitate effective traffic coordination and decision-making, mitigating potential dangers with proactive decision support and advanced operational tools
  • Seamless communication: Utilize state-of-the-art communication equipment to interact with vessels efficiently
  • Enhanced situational awareness: Experience augmented situational awareness with 3D VTS technology
  • Open interfaces: Enable seamless information exchange between VTS and other services through open interfaces
  • Comprehensive recording system: Store all data for post-voyage debriefing and incident analysis

Navi-Harbour 5 – the next-generation VTMS

Navi-Harbour 5 is the latest evolution of Wärtsilä's VTMS. It provides real-time information – and more. You will appreciate its 3D views and integration with Portlink PMIS. You have a full picture of what is happening, and you can more easily see what might be happening soon.

Safety, efficiency, and even sharper situational awareness for ports, harbours, and coastal areas. 

Further improved safety:

  • Advanced situational awareness: Integrates data from AIS, radar, CCTV, and weather stations. In addition to providing a real-time picture, Navi-Harbour 5 offers real-time 3D views and PortLink PMIS integrations to display key events scheduled within the port, providing the awareness on future activities happening within the port.
  • Robust cybersecurity: Updated compliant measures to protect against cyber threats 

Saves effort:

  • Smoother operations: Seamless integration with PortLink PMIS and a modernized interface will reduce the operator’s workload. It will be easier and faster to make the right decisions.
  • Effective traffic management: More advanced tools for efficient coordination, even in high-traffic areas 

Seamless communication:

  • Central communication hub: Efficient information exchange and coordinated response efforts
  • Dynamic data fusion: Real-time information and proactive alerts from various sensors 

Comprehensive recording system:

  • Incident analysis and reporting: Stores all data for post-voyage debriefing and investigations

Investing for the future:

  • Developing AI and machine learning capabilities: For better, enhanced situational awareness and complex scenario management
  • Becoming flexible and scalable: For open interfaces for easy integration and future upgrades
