I was thinking about this thread for the developments and works that were not much noticed and shadowed by other projects. If you're aware of some developments/projects not noticed by the majority, please share with us here. Let see how is it going to be?
Let's start with this:
HAVELSAN VTS - VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICES
The national software developed by HAVELSAN for the Turkish straits will also be used in the Eastern Mediterranean Ship Traffic Services Project, which will include Turkish Republic of North Cyprus (TRNC) and Eastern Mediterranean.
Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Adil Karaismailoğlu, in a statement due to World Seafarers Day, said that the Turkish Straits Vessel Traffic Services (TSVTS) software will be completed at the end of the year and the entire infrastructure will be nationalized and technological independence will be ensured.
"This domestic and national software will be used for the Eastern Mediterranean Vessel Traffic Services Project, which will include TRNC and Eastern Mediterranean, which our state attaches very important to after the Turkish straits," Minister Karaismailoğlu said.

And if you have no idea what is that VTS, find it below some info about it;
Vessel Traffic Services
Vessel traffic services - VTS - are shore-side systems which range from the provision of simple information messages to ships, such as position of other traffic or meterological hazard warnings, to extensive management of traffic within a port or waterway.
Generally, ships entering a VTS area report to the authorities, usually by radio, and may be tracked by the VTS control centre.
Ships must keep watch on a specific frequency for navigational or other warnings, while they may be contacted directly by the VTS operator if there is risk of an incident or, in areas where traffic flow is regulated, to be given advice on when to proceed.
SOLAS Chapter V (Safety of Navigation) states that governments may establish VTS when, in their opinion, the volume of traffic or the degree of risk justifies such services.
The development of VTS
Traditionally, the master of a ship has been responsible for a ship's course and speed, assisted by a pilot where necessary. Ships approaching a port would announce their arrival using flag signals.
With the development of radio in the late 19th century, radio contact became more important. But the development of radar during World War Two made it possible to accurately monitor and track shipping traffic.
The world's first harbour surveillance radar was inaugurated in Liverpool, England, in July 1948 and in March 1950, a radar surveillance system was established at Long Beach, California - the first such system in the United States. The ability of the coastal authority to keep track of shipping traffic by radar, combined with the facility to transmit messages concerning navigation to those ships by radio, therefore constituted the first formal VTS systems.
The value of VTS in navigation safety was first recognized by IMO in resolution A.158 (ES.IV) Recommendation on Port Advisory Systems adopted in 1968, but as technology advanced and the equipment to track and monitor shipping traffic became more sophisticated, it was clear guidelines were needed on standardising procedures in setting up VTS. In particular, it became apparent that there was a need to clarify when a VTS might be established and to allay fears in some quarters that a VTS might impinge on the ship's master's responsibility for navigating the vessel.
As a result, in 1985, IMO adopted resolution A.578 (14) Guidelines for Vessel Traffic Services, which said that VTS was particularly appropriate in the approaches and access channels of a port and in areas having high traffic density, movements of noxious or dangerous cargoes, navigational difficulties, narrow channels, or environmental sensitivity. The Guidelines also made clear that decisions concerning effective navigation and manoeuvring of the vessel remained with the ship's master. The Guidelines also highlighted the importance of pilotage in a VTS and reporting procedures for ships passing through an area where a VTS operates.
Revised VTS Guidelines
Revised Guidelines for vessel traffic services, including Guidelines on Recruitment, Qualifications and Training of VTS Operators, were adopted as Assembly resolution A.857(20) in November 1997.
VTS and SOLAS
Vessel Traffic Services were not specifically referred to in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974, but in June 1997 IMO's Maritime Safety Committee adopted a new regulation to Chapter V (Safety of Navigation), which set out when VTS can be implemented.
A revised SOLAS chapter V on Safety of Navigation was adopted in December 2000, and entered into force on 1 July 2002. Regulation 12 Vessel traffic services states:

And another one....
What are Vessel Traffic Services?
Managing traffic for marine routes is a task as difficult as it is important. Technicalities of this vessel traffic management are immense, which mean there is always a need for specialized services for the same.
Vessel traffic services deal with managing ship traffic on marine routes, suggesting best routes for a vessel and ensuring no two vessels run into each other on congested routes.
All this and much more ensures that maritime information always flows smoothly over all marine routes and ship traffic remains organized. As included by International Maritime Organization, Vessel Traffic Services also deal with making marine routes safer and more efficient.
History of Vessel Traffic Services
Concept of VTS first came into being with increasing need for a single body to regulate ship traffic. As marine routes became more and more popular and populated too, number of accidents on these over worked routes went up too. The current form of VTS first appeared in the port of Liverpool in 1949. From there, it spread through Europe.
In US, Coast Guard first took the responsibility of managing ship traffic. However, VTS as we know it came into existence somewhere in 1980s. In 1971, the Bridge to Bridge Radiotelephone Act and The Ports and Waterways Safety Act of 1972 were passed which later made way for the establishment of present day VTS.
However, the first radar surveillance in US was established in 1950 at Long Beach, California. Centralized authorities like IMO maintain VTS through proper personnel and VTS zones in different parts of the world. Other organizations like IMPA, IFSMA, IALA, IHMA and IAPH are also part of standardized VTS protocol.
Importance of Vessel Traffic Services
Importance of Vessel Traffic services can be better understood from the functions it plays in managing ship traffic. The key importance of VTS is for managing vessel traffic. This further helps ensuring safety of ships, along with helping attain maximum traffic flow from any given route.
Maximum economic returns possible from a marine route can be realized only with help of these traffic services that keep important marine information available for all mariners at all times. It even helps in keeping a tab on movement of unauthorized cargo movements, making waters safer and more controlled. However, one of the most important roles of these services is to act as a vessel finder. The information gathered, stored and replayed by various sensors help in keeping a tab on movements of vessels at all time. This crucial marine information is available at all times and can be used to find a vessel if it goes missing.
Types of Vessel Traffic Tervices
Vessel traffic services chiefly include devices to collect and transmit maritime information which includes traffic images. This information is further transmitted to various vessels in a given VTS zone. This helps the vessels’ captains to make better navigational decisions and decide their routes. Several devices are used for purpose of gaining and transmitting this information. Depending on type medium used to gain this information, VTS can be classified as:
1. Radar System
It includes transmission of marine information in form of radio waves of certain frequencies. These frequencies can be read to determine size and speed on any incoming object to a distance of several miles. All vessels are equipped with radar systems which are further connected to onshore centre for transmitting information and forming a web of data.
2. AIS
It stands for Automatic Identification System and helps in improving safety and efficiency of navigation. This system makes use of a broadcast system that helps in updating data on connected vessels automatically. This is a speedy system which can update information ever two seconds. Self Organizing Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) technology is used to handle and transport such huge amount data at such high speeds.
3. Radio Direction Finder
As the name suggest, this component of VTS helps in obtaining maritime information that will help to locate direction from which radio frequencies are coming. This device particularly helps in acting like a vessel finder.
Vessel traffic services are used for the sole purpose of making all ship routes safer and more efficient. With trained personnel, this take becomes easier and makes marine routes safer.

Several devices are used for purpose of gaining and transmitting this information. Depending on type medium used to gain this information, VTS can be classified as:
- Surveilled – they consist of land based sensors for attaining important marine information. These sensors include radars, AIS and closed circuit television sites. Signals from these sensors are sent to central locations where trained VTS personnel analyze the information and guides ship traffic.
- Non Surveilled- consists of one or more reporting points at where ships notify about their identity, course, speed and other data. Using this data, courses of various vessels are mapped out and regulated to avoid any mishaps.
