Communication with VTS stakeholders

We engage on VTS matters both at a national and international level.

Nationally, we have established a VTS advisory group to facilitate communication and information sharing between VTS authorities and key stakeholders, and a common understanding of the delivery of vessel traffic services across Australia.

Periodically we issue a VTS newsletters. Find past editions to read. 

As the Competent Authority, we participate internationally in the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) VTS Committee and at IMO, thereby ensuring that we work with other authorities to harmonise and improve VTS globally. The VTS advisory group contributes to our national position on issues discussed and decided at the IMO and IALA.
