Work the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) console: drag route lines to sequence every inbound and outbound vessel to their berth without conflict, while managing single-lane channels and berthing windows. Covers VTS operations under SOLAS Chapter V Regulation 12, Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) rules, the VTS Officer's duty of care, and International Regulations for VTS (IALA V-103).
Develops the wide-area situational awareness used by real VTS officers at busy ports like Rotterdam, Singapore, and Los Angeles. The spatial reasoning trained here directly transfers to bridge watch-keeping, passage planning, and Master-level traffic management examinations.
