Task 14. Establish a "Traffic Control and Management System". 

A vessel traffic management and information system, to be used on the Caribbean Sea to serve vessels,  consists of two major elements:

1. Communication and Position System:

The delivery of a complete integrated communication and position system. The vessels are already equipped with VHF communication equipment which will be used for the voice communication. Each ship will, however, be equipped with a UHF transmitter, DGPS receiver and communication card, to relay the DGPS position information to central command upon request.

2. Presentation and Control System:

The delivery of the software and the related hardware for the presentation of the position information of the vessels. To achieve overall system functionally for operators, the system must positively identify and locate all participating vessels in real time. The data generated from this primary system activity must be disseminated, processed and stored throughout the system for a variety of applications.
