It has been designed to facilitate coastal surveillance, traffic monitoring, collision avoidance, search & rescue coordination and port operational efficiency.
The Portland system comprises traffic display workstation with multiple electronic charts, Transas coastal radar processor integrated with Sperry Bridgemaster E radar and AIS as well as a sophisticated set of operator controls and traffic management toolkits.
The system also incorporates double screen operator workstation, the facility to review/replay incidents on the screen and remote access to the system over the internet for pilots and other authorised users.
