The Norwegian Coastal Administration's (NCA's) C-Scope vessel traffic service (VTS) systems will be able to work on mobile devices from June following the integration of Kongsberg Norcontrol IT's (KNC) advanced C-Scope Web and Mobile Application module. "The C-Scope Mobile Applications are a significant addition to our VTS systems. They ensure that our VTS operators and managers can access vital, real-time VTS data on their tablets and smartphones on a 24/7 basis, which is particularly relevant to enhancing incident management, should key personnel be off-site," said Jon Leon Ervik, head of the Pilotage and VTS Department at NCA.
