To manage this growth safely and efficiently, Flanders and the Netherlands are jointly developing a comprehensive Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) network.

What’s changing?

- VTS takes a more active role to guide shipping safe and smooth
- An expanded radar network enables accurate real-time monitoring
- Flanders is training a new team of VTS operators, who will work closely with their experienced Dutch counterparts

This joint investment in people and technology will ensure safe and smooth passage along the canal.
