Case Study: Port of Antwerp achieves safer, more efficient port monitoring with Milestone Systems

How an open VMS helped the busiest port in Europe see the big picture

The Port of Antwerp, one of the busiest ports in Europe, needed a better way to monitor its vast operations, improve safety, and respond quickly to unusual events. Using Milestone Systems’ XProtect distributed video management software, the port wanted a centralized view across the entire port area and easier coordination between authorities.

Milestone Systems implemented an open-platform VMS solution that let staff monitor the port from one central location and share video data with teams like Facility Management and the Shipping Police. The result was faster detection and response to incidents, fewer accidents, reduced vandalism and theft, improved shipping traffic management, and better environmental protection in cases such as oil leaks, while also providing stronger proof-of-damage to save time and money.
