Port Klang's
vessel traffic management system (VTMS) under the supervision of the PKA was
implemented in order to ensure greater navigational safety in the port waters.
The ACC or
Area Control Centre's radar on the 19th floor of the Westport commercial
building covers a radius of 26 nautical miles offshore. The other two radar
sites are located on Pulau Angsa and Bukit Jugra.
This system
provides information on vessels transiting the harbour such as cargo
onboard, last and next port of call and the vessel's particulars. The centre
also provides an attending pilot accurate information on the vessel's position
and the density of traffic converging on the same destination, thus enhancing
passage planning.
