The purpose of the guidance is to assist Contracting Governments, competent authorities for VTS and VTS providers in establishing, planning and implementing a VTS effectively in a manner consistent with their international obligations under SOLAS and to conform with IALA Standards.

In particular, the guidance provides a mechanism to ensure those responsible for the planning and implementation are competent in the practices described in Recommendation R0119 (V-119) Establishment of a VTS [1] and associated Guideline G1150 Establishing, Planning and Implementing a VTS [2]

• Recommendation R0119 specifies the practices associated with the establishment of a VTS as prescribed in SOLAS regulation V/12 (Vessel Traffic Services) [3]
• Guideline G1150 provides the framework to assist authorities in implementing practices specified in Recommendation R0119, including arranging for establishing, planning and implementing VTS.

For the purpose of this guidance, competence is the application of knowledge, skills, attitude and personal attributes to effectively and efficiently establish, plan and implement VTS to expected and recognized standards.

The Guideline will also assist:

• VTS providers to prepare any necessary "On-the-Job" training for staff deemed necessary;
• VTS providers to identify possible external training needs (e.g., project management); and
• VTS training organizations to prepare courses upon request.

Please note, this Guideline describes knowledge, skills, attitudes and personal attributes required to assist in implementing the practices described in Recommendation R0119 for establishing, planning and implementing VTS and the associated Guideline G1150.

This Guideline is informative in nature and is to encourage best practice. It is not necessary to conform to in order to claim compliance to Recommendation R0119.

The IMO Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974 - Chapter V (Safety of Navigation), Regulation 12 provides for Vessel Traffic Services and states that:

"Contracting Governments undertake to arrange for the establishment of Vessel Traffic Services where, in their opinion, the volume of traffic or the degree of risk justifies such services".

Under the general provisions of treaty law and of IMO conventions, States are responsible for promulgating laws and regulations and for taking all other steps which may be necessary to give those instruments full and complete effect so as to ensure safety of life at sea and protection of the marine environment.

IMO Resolution A.1158(32) Guidelines for Vessel Traffic Services [4] recommends Contracting Governments and Members of the Organization which are not Contracting Governments to the Convention to take into account the Guidelines contained in the annex when planning and implementing vessel traffic services in accordance with regulation V/12 of the Convention.

IALA Guideline G1150 provides the framework to assist authorities in implementing practices specified in IALA R0119. This includes arranging for establishing, planning and implementing a VTS.

The implementation of a VTS to improve the safety and efficiency of navigation, safety of life at sea and the protection of the marine environment, and its ongoing operation, is a significant investment.

Careful planning should be undertaken to ensure a VTS is implemented effectively, achieves its objectives and is sufficiently resourced and funded on an ongoing basis.

A key factor in achieving this is ensuring that those involved in the planning and implementation are familiar with the international framework for VTS and competency to implement the practices specified in R0119 and associated G1150.

The key areas shown in Table 1 include:

The international framework for establishing a VTS includes:

1. International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974;
2. IMO Resolution A.1158(32) Guidelines for Vessel Traffic Services;
3. IALA standards; and
4. National law.

Another key consideration in establishing a VTS is setting up the governance framework to ensure the effective implementation and on-going delivery of a VTS and that the relevant authority is effectively administering its obligations under SOLAS such as:

• Promulgating laws and regulations and for taking all other steps which may be necessary to give effect to SOLAS regulation V/12 (Vessel Traffic Services).
• Implementing a regulatory framework for establishing and operating a VTS in accordance with relevant international conventions and IMO instruments, IALA standards and national law.
• Appointing and authorizing a competent authority for VTS.
• Authorizing VTS providers to operate VTS and ensuring that VTS training is approved and VTS personnel are certified.
• Ensuring appropriate control and monitoring mechanisms are in place to demonstrate the authority is effectively administering its obligations.

Further guidance on control and monitoring mechanism is provided in IALA Guidelines:

• G1115 Preparing for an IMO Member State Audit Scheme (IMSAS) on Vessel Traffic Services [5]; and
• G1101 Auditing and Assessing VTS [6].

The following table shows the knowledge and competence within the international framework required to establish VTS:

The implementation of a VTS to improve the safety and efficiency of navigation, safety of life at sea and the protection of the marine environment, and its ongoing operation, is a significant investment. Careful planning should be undertaken to ensure a VTS is implemented effectively, achieves its objectives and is sufficiently resourced and funded on an ongoing basis.

IALA Guideline G1150 Establishing, Planning and Implementing VTS recommends that, when planning and implementing VTS, a project management approach be adopted to ensure the major deliverables, assumptions and constraints are clearly documented. In particular, the Guideline states that:

"Relevant international guidance prepared and published by appropriate international organizations regarding project management should be considered, or where there are national requirements for project management, these should be used."

As an example of international guidance, the Guideline refers to ISO 21500 Guidance on Project Management [13] - an international standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

IALA Guideline G1150 highlights the five project management phases and the key areas for consideration as they relate to VTS:

1. Initiating - This marks the beginning of the project. The goal of this phase is to define the proposed implementation of a VTS at a broad level and its feasibility to address the issues and problems associated with the volume of traffic and degree of risk in the waterway.
2. Planning - During this phase, the scope and goals of the project are defined and a project management plan is developed. It involves identifying the cost, quality, available resources and a realistic timetable.
3. Implementing - This is the phase where deliverables are developed and completed.
4. Controlling - This phase is invariable carried out simultaneously with Phase 3 (Implementing), thereby ensuring that project objectives and deliverables are met. This phase is about measuring project progression and performance and ensuring that everything happening aligns with the project management plan.
5. Closing - The closing processes are used to formally establish that the project phase or project is finished.

Authorities should ensure that those responsible for the planning and implementing a VTS are competent in project management and have the necessary knowledge, skills and capability to effectively and efficiently establish, plan and implement the VTS to recognized standards.

The following table shows the knowledge and competencies required when planning and implementing a VTS:
