Purpose and Scope of the Guide

The World VTS Guide has been designed to give Masters of ships, navigators, and interested persons, clear and concise diagrammatic and written information regarding the navigational requirements of the VTS Centres of the world. Particular attention has been paid to communications requirements, the World VTS Guide being designed to be used in close proximity to the onboard VHF set.

VTS systems operated by participating Authorities are described in near uniform format, whether the systems are coastal, harbour or riverine. Associated services are also described, but only so far as they concern communications and procedural requirements. Commercial considerations are not described in detail.

Authenticity

The information contained in the World VTS Guide has been supplied by the VTS Centres, or by their operating Authority. Prior to publication, every item is checked by the VTS Centre concerned, and every effort is made to ensure that it is faithfully reproduced. The publisher cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies or omissions.

Coastline detail is shown in diagrammatic form, and is NOT for navigational use. Original coastlines have been taken from the appropriate official charts, with the authority of the appropriate Hydrographic Offices, to whom acknowledgement is made.
