Transas secures Mombasa VTS contract

Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has commissioned Transas Marine UK for the supply, installation and commissioning of a vessel traffic management system (VTS) at its Port of Mombasa. Scheduled to be officially handed to KPA in February 2008, the main operator control room will be located inside the Port of Mombasa’s brand new 70m high Port Control Tower. 

Mombasa’s new control tower will house VTS control room

The supply contract includes two high performance coastal surveillance radars, CCTV, Automatic Identification System Base Stations, VHF & HF Base Stations, and other ancillary equipment.

As the largest port on the East African port, Mombasa is a major port of call for international shipping lines.
