This study was undertaken as a follow-on to the Vessel Traffic Systems Analysis of Port Needs study (August 1973). The criteria established in the Vessel Traffic Systems Analysis of Port Needs was used for this study so that a direct correlation might be drawn between the two studies. Vessel casualty data from the period FY1973-78 was used to form the basis of this analysis. 1019 casualty cases were examined to determine which accidents could have been prevented by VTS and what level of VTS would have been required. The study looked at the effectiveness of the VTS, possible areas for increased VTS involvement and trends in the commerce and transit patterns for the Houston/Galveston area. (Author)
