Transas Mediterranean in cooperation with its local partner SERAMAR has delivered a Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) to Port Autonome de Lomé in Togo. The System is installed in Lomé Port – the main point of exchange for the country.
The System, which was provided on a turnkey basis, is intended to monitor and regulate the maritime traffic flow in order to improve safety conditions in the area. High traffic density justifies the choice of sophisticated software able to improve port's efficiency.

Complementary to the Transas monitoring solution Navi-Monitor, the Lomé Port VTMS is equipped with a set of hardware components – a radar, an operator workstation, AIS and VHF equipment. In addition, Transas Marine specialists carried out a comprehensive operational and maintenance training for operators and technicians.
This project continues the range of successful VTMS installations conducted by Transas on the African continent. “Rising safety and security concerns have made a significant shift in minds over the last few years. Ports are becoming even more conscious and take deliberate decisions in choosing suppliers of critically important safety systems,” said Christopher Loizou, Transas Marine’s Shore-Based Systems Business Unit Director.
Transas has supplied VTMS to Libya, Morocco and Ivory Coast.
