One of the most controversial issues relating to marine navigation is the efficacy of ships' crews using VHF radio technology for bridge-to-bridge communications to agree manoeuvres. Through a re-evaluation of historic case studies, this paper provides background on the development of applying VHF technology in collision avoidance and the legislation, national and international, underpinning the practice; a practice that has found little or no support from the legal establishment. Finally, the consequential development of a policy to require specific VHF technology to be installed on ships to facilitate agreements in relation to collision avoidance manoeuvres is reviewed, that is the automatic identification system (AIS).
