Description

The Contracting Entity proposes to engage in a competitive process for the establishment of a contract for the Provision of Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) including Software, associated hardware, professional services, delivery, maintenance, and support. This procurement relates to the supply of a Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) system (software and any necessary supporting hardware, e.g. Radar, AIS, VHF Radio, Environmental Sensors, Device Communications, Network connectivity, Server based infrastructure). The service should include full project life cycle [Design, Build, Test, Parallel operation, Stability] also considering post-delivery support and maintenance. The aim of this project is to replace the current VTS ecosystem and supporting infrastructure where required (software and hardware), with the latest technologies providing for real time data and enterprise-wide integration. The aim is to replace the current VTS system infrastructure [Atlas VTS 9760]. At the very least the successful bidder will be required to integrate its solution to the current shipping system - PMIS - Port Control from Tidalis, to deliver the necessary functional requirements. It is anticipated this should be a standard integration. The system should also provide for remote access and mobile device capability. The new VTS solution DPC is seeking to acquire and implement includes the following high-level requirements: • Compliance with IALA standards, including S-1040, R0128 (V-128), and the G1111 series of guidelines, ensuring both operational and technical performance are aligned with global best practices. • Delivery of a robust and future-proofed VTS software ecosystem that: • Accepts, fuses, and displays data from radar, AIS, VHF, Electro-Optical (EO) sensors, and MetOcean systems. • Supports decision support tools (DST) for alarm handling, route monitoring, and incident response. • Provides record and replay functionality for traffic, sensor, and operator activity to support training and incident review. • Provision of a modern, ergonomic control room layout with at least two operator workstations and remote backup capabilities, aligned with BS EN ISO 11064 and IALA G1105/G1171 ergonomic design standards. • Deployment of an integrated sensor network delivering enhanced detection, redundancy, and target tracking across Dublin Port’s SHA and approaches. • Support for advanced AIS functionality including AIS AtoNs and message handling per G1111-4, with infrastructure coverage that ensures full vessel visibility across all navigational zones. • Provision of VHF radio systems meeting G1111-2 guidance, offering primary and backup coverage and seamless integration with operator terminals. • Compatibility with Electro-Optical and thermal imaging systems, particularly for situational awareness in berthing areas and areas of high risk. • A solution architecture that ensures resilience, minimal single points of failure, and high system availability, incorporating redundant power, communications paths, and server infrastructure. • Secure IT infrastructure design, with layered cybersecurity, compliance with GDPR and data retention policies, and robust access control mechanisms. • Open architecture to enable integration with existing and future port systems, including PMIS (Tidalis), berth monitoring tools, and third-party applications via secure APIs. • Scalable support for web-based and mobile access for authorised users, enabling situational awareness beyond the control centre in line with emerging operational demands. Delivery of post-implementation services including user training, system documentation, warranty, and long-term maintenance and support options. Must provide a solution where all VTS, radar and VHF Radio activity are recorded and stored for replay in incident management and operator training.
