Abstract:The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed guidelines on the principles and general operational provisions for the operation of a vessel traffic service (VTS).However, these guidelines only address seagoing vessels that have to comply with the SOLAS Convention (?maritime? vessels) and only address VTS in coastal, port approach and port areas (?maritime? VTS). VTS is also used in inland waters, not only in port approach and port areas but also further inland where non-maritime vessels also operate. The IMO Guidelines on VTS are not always entirely suitable for these waters and vessels. These guidelines have been developed by the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) for use by when developing, implementing and operating vessel traffic services in inland waters where the application IMO guidelines are not appropriate. 13p.
