DEMA hosted a demonstration of the VDES testbed in Korsør, utilizing Sternula’s MMS hardware and 4 VDES base stations, making it the world’s most advanced end-to-end implementation of a VDES-based digital service.

In this live demonstration, a Navigational warning (S-124) was successfully broadcast utilizing a VDE-TER connection. 

The setup is developed according to the latest standardization around VDES and associated technologies, and aligned with IALA guideline G1117.

Knowledge Sharing

It was a great pleasure to engage in a knowledge sharing session on digitalization of the Vessel Traffic System (VTS) function with WSP and HKSAR

The VDES testbed in Korsør is established under the ongoing MaDaMe project, a collaboration between Baltic maritime authorities and industry, supported by Interreg Baltic Sea Region.
