It is a "ship to ship" or "ship to shore" broadcast system. This system works
through installing receivers in maritime ports and connecting them with EMDB
systems. Thus, it transmits a live image of vessels calling at maritime ports
and passing by territorial waters for the purpose of monitoring and analyzing
its movement. All these data are transmitted automatically and in a short
period of time, which does not exceed one minute (this is done through a
specialized program, not allowed for usage for public users, as they contain
strategic information). A constant image is published daily in Egyptian
maritime ports through the sector's official website, as the location of
vessels appear in maritime ports, where the system has been installed. As for
the current system (direct), it is used in the authorities allowed to view
these data, such as (Marine Forces, Minister of Transport Office, and Maritime
Safety Authority, Search and Rescue, Maritime Port Authority ….etc). This is
executed through the network they are connected to and the major office of
EMDB, where all central databases exist.
