8 ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION IF THE COMMUNICATION FACILITIES OF THE
SHORE-BASED AUTHORITY FAIL
8.1 The system is designed to avoid as far possible any irretrievable
breakdown of equipment which would hinder the functioning of the services normally
provided by the Finisterre VTS.
8.2 The most important items of equipment and power sources are
duplicated and the facilities are provided with emergency generating sets as well as with
UPS units. A maintenance team, on call, 24 hours in a day stands ready to repair to the
extent possible any breakdowns which may occur.

failure of the facility, coverage by another station will be provided.
