HAVELSAN completes East Mediterranean Ship Traffic Services project

HAVELSAN has successfully completed the provisional acceptance activities for the East Mediterranean Ship Traffic Services (DAGTH) project. The project, initiated through an agreement between the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and HAVELSAN, aims to enhance maritime safety and monitor vessel movements in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The system provides continuous surveillance by detecting ship movements and creating an integrated maritime picture. It simultaneously transmits identity, route, navigation, and cargo information for all vessels within its coverage area to both the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Ship Traffic Services Center and the Mersin Ship Traffic Services Center.

As part of the project, traffic surveillance stations were constructed in Çayırova, Sadrazamköy, and Dipkarpaz within TRNC borders. The system is now fully integrated with the Mersin center. Additionally, an Integrated Port Management Information System will enable digital tracking of vessels entering and leaving TRNC ports to improve security and operational efficiency.
