Порт Тайчунг внедрил систему на базе ИИ для автоматического обнаружения несанкционированных судов

Port of Taichung, operated by the Taiwan International Ports Corporation (TIPC), has taken a further step towards becoming a smart port with the launch of a new Breakwater Entrance Intrusion Detection System (IDS) at the port’s signal tower. The system completed its final inspection and entered service on 16 January 2026, marking a further milestone in the port’s smart safety management and water security programme. The IDS combines software customised to monitor security in and around the port’s breakwater entrance with upgraded hardware. High-definition bullet, PTZ and thermal-imaging security cameras have been installed near the top of the signal tower, integrated with multi-sensor and AI computing technology to provide continuous, all-weather surveillance of vessel activity at the port entrance. Conventional Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) systems rely on manual monitoring and carry limitations in surveillance scope and response time.

The system identifies and analyses unknown vessels within a designated surveillance zone, issuing an immediate alert and triggering cross-departmental response mechanisms when unauthorised vessels or abnormal vessel movements are detected. This shifts vessel and port transit control from a manual inspection process to an automated security routine, reducing the burden on human monitors and allowing front-line staff to focus on responding to anomalous events rather than routine surveillance. According to the port authority, the upgrade streamlines surveillance-related decision-making and reduces the operational burden and risk carried by port staff, while strengthening the safety of vessels transiting to and from the port. Port of Taichung said it will continue to roll out innovative technology applications as part of its broader smart port strategy, aimed at improving its operating environment and maintaining reliable service levels for its international shipping customers.
