This study examined the US Coast Guard vessel traffic service (VTS) systems ability to (1) detect and recognize traffic conflicts and other unsafe situations, (2) provide mariners with timely warning of such traffic conflicts and unsafe situations, and (3) control vessel traffic movements in the interest of safety. Safety issue areas identified during the study include: (1) variation in the use of Coast Guard VTS authority, (2) inadequate VTS watchstander training and qualification, (3) VTS system limitations, and (4) insufficient safety risk management of VTS areas. As a result of this safety study, the National Transportation Safety Board makes recommendations to the US Coast Guard, the American Pilots Association, the American Waterways Operators, and the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services.
