VTS Manual, Edition 8,2

Книга на английском языке.
The VTS Manual has been a signature document and information source for Governments, Competent Authorities, VTS Providers, mariners and allied services since first published in 1993.
The Manual is a product of collaboration by the world’s leading experts through the VTS Commit- tee, which has the primary oversight for its compilation and editing.
The membership represents most of the world’s leading national maritime authorities whose dele- gates are widely experienced VTS professionals. The VTS Committee is also supported through participation from relevant international sister organizations. This ensures that the Committee is able to speak with international authority on VTS matters and, importantly, to develop new procedures to meet the emerging needs for modern traffic management and to enhance maritime safety.
The Manual provides a source of reference on the establishment and provision of VTS for all stake- holders. It also provides a pointer to the suite of IALA Standards related to VTS and the associated Recommendations, Guidelines, Model Courses that any VTS professional may seek.
The 2021 edition of the VTS Manual also sees its primary means of distribution being in a digital format which will be available on the website (www.iala-aism.org) along with all the other information sources available to our members and users of Marine Aids to Navigation.
I encourage readers of this Manual to also consult the website for other information that may assist you in your day-to-day work in VTS.
I would like to thank the IALA membership for helping to produce this 2021 edition of the VTS Manual and reflect on the unique nature of IALA that allows professionals from around the world to contribute their expertise to assist the international maritime community in improving and harmonizing VTS.
