Ports face rising pressure to balance safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility with limited resources. This session looks at how the Marine Exchange of Puget Sound supports vessel traffic using real-time tracking, low-cost technology, and key partnerships, all without federal funding.
What You’ll Learn:
See how this independent hub backs up a full VTS, strengthens compliance with NOAA and USCG, and keeps port operations resilient and secure with practical tools and smart systems.
Key Discussion Points:
• How does real-time tracking improve safety and reduce delays?
• What tools help meet regulatory and environmental standards?
• Why is redundancy critical in disaster-prone regions?
• How can small ports protect AIS data from cyber threats?
