The VTS system configurations ordered for both ports are identical and comprise in each case a radar sensor with a Transas ORS-3 radar processor, Transas VTS server used as master operator station and one full-functional operator display unit workstation.

The systems supplied provide target tracking within the area extending from 20 nautical miles outside the port to ship berthings on the port basin.

Functional capabilities of the systems include automatic/ manual target acquisition and tracking, target identification associated with database entries from Transas VTS Information System, synchronous recording of all VTS data and capability of playing back any desired time fragment, automatic logging of major events related to ship visits in an electronic log book, as well as the recording of voice communications using the WorldNet Racal recorders.

The open architecture configuration of the system allows for its expansion in the future to include extra sensors and operator's stations. External VTS data users, such as the customs service, port police and shipping agents, can be connected to the system on a server/client basis.

The Moroccan installations use the latest Transas Navi-harbour version 3.6 software and the systems are ready to be integrated with a UAIS system.
