How can coastal states better manage their resources for VTS?
Coastal states can better manage their resources for vessel traffic services (VTS) by investing in advanced technology and equipment, implementing robust communication systems, and ensuring well-trained personnel are available. By utilizing sophisticated radar systems, AIS technologies, and surveillance cameras, coastal states can effectively monitor maritime traffic and respond quickly to potential risks. Additionally, establishing clear protocols and procedures for coordinating with nearby ports, vessels, and other relevant authorities can help improve overall VTS efficiency and safety. Regular training and drills for VTS operators can also enhance response capabilities and ensure smooth operations during emergencies.
