Many ports including those offering Local Port Services (LPS) have no need for a full blown VTS, but still require a system that provides clear and accurate traffic information, as well as open and reliable lines of communication which, together, keep ports and harbours running smoothly.

Cost-effective

The team at Ledwood Technology will help design your system to match your needs, including only the components that are required, avoiding unnecessary over-specification. System upgrades and extensions can be considered on an as-needed basis, enabling you to better target your requirements and manage associated costs.

Efficient movement of vessel traffic

The IRIS LPS tracks and records all vessel traffic, providing up-to-date comprehensive information; essential for a well-managed, efficient port service.

Safety

IRIS LPS provides operators with a comprehensive traffic picture, enabling them to provide accurate information to bridge teams and other LPS users, improving safety and reducing risk to the environment.

Managing Change

The requirements of an LPS will change over time. IRIS has been designed to flexibly meet these changing needs and can be easily relocated or upgraded. The IRIS solution allows any number of features, modules and sensors to be added at a later date, facilitating cost effective system lifetime management, and avoidance of obsolescence.
