Vessel Traffic Service Centre Ems

The Vessel Traffic Service Centre Ems features angled outer walls and specialized cladding that adapts to changing light conditions from the North Sea.

The centre was constructed in 2000 following a 1997 design competition, with a total construction cost of 1.7 million Euros and area of 928 square meters.

The architectural design integrates with traditional regional elements while serving as a reference point for maritime navigation in the Ems River region.

The facility operates advanced monitoring systems to manage vessel movements and ensure safe passage through the busy waterways leading to the North Sea.

The building incorporates existing foundations from a previous pilot station, demonstrating efficient land use while maintaining its function as a maritime control center.
