The maritime mobile frequency band supports maritime communications worldwide. Appendix 18 of the ITU Radio Regulations (RR) defines the channels of the maritime mobile service. These channels support a variety of communication functions including: public correspondence, intership and ship-to-coast, coast- to-ship, port operations, calling and various safety purposes. Safety functions include distress, search and rescue, ship movement, navigation (bridge-to-bridge) communications, and maritime safety information broadcasts. One type of service that can enhance these functions is called a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS). The VTS will enable ships and shore stations to automatically transmit and receive information between themselves in coastal and port areas and inland waterways. Ships will also be able to automatically exchange information on the high seas. The ships and shore stations will be able to exchange data on ship size, speed, location, heading, cargo and other pertinent information, such as navigation hazards and pollution spills.
