A system for controlling traffic at sea - Montenegro


Vessel Traffic Monitoring and Information System

The obligation of all vessels that are in the VTS area is sending input and output reports or deviational and incident reports in cases of emergencies.

Monitoring and management of maritime navigation is implemented in order to increase the safety of maritime navigation and protection of the sea from pollution.

Monitoring and management of maritime navigation (VTMIS) includes:

1. Gathering data on vessels and maritime navigation;
2. Providing data to all vessels;
3. Providing navigational advice and support for vessels;
4. Organizing navigation and management of maritime navigation;
5. Control over the safety of navigation.

The system for monitoring, providing information and management of maritime navigation is done in collaboration of the Harbour Master and the port authorities with vessels that are in use or are in the internal waters, territorial waters and continental belt of Montenegro. This system is being implemented in order to increase the safety of maritime navigation, efficiency of maritime traffic and the protection of the marine area.

VTMIS (Vessel Traffic Monitoring and Information System) equipment is located at the following locations: Dobra Voda (Bar), Obosnik (Lustica peninsula), Crni Rt (Sutomore), Mavrijan (Ulcinj). Equipment includes: maritime radar system, radio communication system, the coastal system of automatic identification of ships, weather stations, electronic cartography, direction finder and backup linking network.


When the vessel in the area of international navigation intends to sail into the VTS area, it is necessary to prepare the following information: name of the vessel, international call sign, position, speed, destination and estimated time of arrival (ETA) 15 minutes in advance and at the latest when the vessel enters the area.

The necessary documents for obtaining a vignette, which the master of the ship shall submit to the shipping agent upon arrival and departure from the territorial waters of Montenegro, are processed and forwarded to state bodies and institutions.
