In summary, the applications for VTS in the marketplace are many and are limited only by the areas of Loran-C coverage and the adequacy of the communications system. Within the United States, about two-thirds of the country can use VTS effectively at the present time. Within Europe, primary Loran-C coverage on land is currently limited to portions of countries bordering the Mediterranean, parts of Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland and Norway. More Loran-C chains are being installed. Two now exist in the U.S.S.R., one is in Saudi Arabia, and new chains were recently configured and installed in Greenland and Iceland. Considerable discussion is taking place concerning possible additional coverage in Europe to include Southern Norway and France.
