Rijeka Gateway Project: project for the VTMIS system
Rijeka Port Authorities have awarded Thetis the contract for drafting the project and tender documents for VTMIS - the Vessel Traffic Management Information System. VTMIS is part of the “Rijeka Gateway Project” programme, financed by the World Bank, providing for considerable renovation work on the port. The aim of this work is to increase the competitiveness of the Croatian transportation system.
The VTMIS system will make it possible to increase levels of navigational safety in the bay of Rijeka and the region of Kvarner, while at the same time improving the efficiency of the port structures and reducing the risk of accidents, with consequent effects on the marine environment. The system comprises two highly sensitive radar units, remote controlled telecameras, radio-transponders and an operations centre which is to be installed in the new Port Authorities control room.
Thetis won the tender, carried out to World Bank standards, competing with some of the most important consultancy companies in Europe. Besides the quality of the technical proposal, Thetis’ qualifying elements included the experience it has built up in previous projects and the composition of its team of experts.
Completion of the project has been planned for the end of March 2006. Thetis has been offering consultancy services for marine and land environmental systems for over ten years.
