territorially distributed information systems. It is designed to address a wide range of navigation and information tasks stemming from international, European and national legal regulations that are dynamic and subject to change depending on the quantitative and technological changes in the nature of maritime transport. Each such system is unique and does not represent a finished product marketed, but is built and upgraded according to the specifics of the region and the needs of the country concerned in order to realize certain functionalities for certain regions and to meet the current technical requirements and emerging challenges.<\/p><p>Good European practices in the field of traffic management and continuous technological development and improvement in the sector (radio localization, specialized video surveillance \u2013 day and night, IT, etc.) imply the need for technological improvement and expanding of the VTMIS traffic monitoring through the deployment of modernized infrastructure and innovative approaches to its construction and exploitation.<\/p><p>The implementation of the project by expansion and completing the VTMIS functions will improve the safety and security of shipping when visiting the Bulgarian seaports. Since the territorial coverage of the port of Burgas is part of the main Trans-European Transport Network and the territorial coverage of port of Varna is the extended Trans-European Transport Network, the implementation of the project indirectly will also positively influence the efficiency of the Trans-European Transport Network.<\/p><p><strong>Main Objective:<\/strong>\u00a0Improve the management, safety and security of shipping and environmental control in the maritime spaces of the Republic of Bulgaria through the implementation of modernized infrastructure for traffic monitoring
