A PROPOSAL FOR STRUCTURING MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEMS OF NAVIGATION IN THE TRAFFIC LANE NEXT TO THE PORT OF ZADAR

U radu je predstavljen mogući ustroj organizacije i upravljanja pomorskom plovidbom (VTS sustav) na prilaznim plovnim putovima do luke Zadar. Kvalitetan nadzor pomorske plovidbe omogućuje povećanje sigurnosti plovidbe i zaštite morskog okoliša. U tom smislu opravdanost ustroja VTS sustava u promatranom području proizlazi iz činjenice kontinuiranog povećanja broja brodova od kojih se dio odnosi na brodove koji prevoze opasne terete, a veliki dio na plovila za razonodu i putničke brodove. Nadalje, potreba uspostave sustava proizlazi iz nepovoljnih hidrografskih uvjeta na plovnim putovima koji utječu na smanjenu razinu sigurnosti plovidbe. Prikazani prijedlog VTS sustava obuhvaća uspostavljanje novih plovidbenih ruta te upotrebu radarskih i AIS uređaja u postupku nadzora brodova, a čiji se smještaj i način rada u radu detaljno opisuje.The paper introduces a feasible frame for the reorganisation and control of sea navigation (VTS system) in the access waterway to the port of Zadar. A high-grade monitoring of seagoing navigation means increased safety and a higher protection of the marine environment. In this sense the validity of structuring a VTS system in the controlled area results from the ever-increasing number of transiting vessels, some of which carrying dangerous cargoes with the majority being leisure craft and passenger ships. The need for installing the system arises as well from the unfavourable hydrographic conditions which affect navigation and reduce the level of safety. The described proposal of the VTS system foresees the opening of new navigable routes with radar and AIS equipments to be included for vessel monitoring. Their location and mode of operation are in detail worked out in this paper
