The implementation projects of the Vessel Traffic Management and Informations System - VTMIS of Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ) cover the Ports of Rio de Janeiro/Niterói and Itaguaí, where CDRJ is the Port Authority. In pursuit of greater efficiency, the VTMIS implementation projects have gained a strong boost after 2019 thanks to an Agreement signed with the Brazilian Navy (MB) that will allow CDRJ to use military sites as remote VTMIS stations, given that the MB is implementing a Blue Amazon monitoring and surveillance system called SisGAAz. In addition, the projects were elaborated to present some hallmarks, such as: partnerships signed with the Academy, which will allow the maritime and scientific communities to have access to meteorological-oceanographic data and weather forecasts of up to 7 (seven) days in real time; in the projects' first stage, the implementation of Local Port Services (LPS) is expected, sharing with the MB coastal maritime surveillance radars coupled with daylight and thermal imaging cameras; the use of Automatic Identification System (AIS) Base Stations with the new VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) technology, in order to allow the integration of CDRJ's VTMIS with the e-Navigation project, currently under development by the MB; and the implementation of a modern Environmental Monitoring System with meteorological-oceanographic sensors to be installed around the Guanabara Bay, which will allow the implementation of ReDRAFT® software to calculate the Dynamic Clearance Below the Keel (FDAQ), in order to allow the safe transit of vessels with critical drafts in larger operational windows.

This work aims to analyze the evolution of professional insertion of alumni of the Oceanology course of the Federal University of Rio Grande - FURG in the period of 2001-2013, its geographical distribution, and the Great Areas and Areas of performance at the public, private, and third sectors. The surveys were carried out with the help of the Lattes Platform, the social networks LinkedIn and Facebook, and the database of FURG, covering the universe of alumni. There are no previous studies for the modalities which make up the Marine Sciences. Results show that personnel public policies and the economic situation of the country have an influence over the relative quantity of inserted alumni in the job market. The public sector is the main employer. In 2013, the alumni of the Oceanology course acted in 18 of the 19 Great Areas that integrate the field of Marine Sciences, with emphasis on Environmental Management, Biological Oceanography and Fishing Resources, as well as in 51 of the 57 Areas, especially in Environmental Impact Assessment, Natural Resources Conversation and Farming (Mariculture). The performance of the alumni in Environmental Education reveals the contradiction between the formation and the professional doing, since, until recently, the theme was not a part of the official curriculum of the Oceanology course.
