1 One of the conclusions
of the 8th International Symposium
on Vessel Traffic
Services (Rotterdam, 15-19 April,
1996) was that:
"VTS Authorities should set standards
for VTS
Operators in accordance with
international guidelines
and other relevant material.
VTS Authorities should
also provide facilities for training
to those
standards and institute measures
to maintain those
standards.
Following a request from the
Symposium, IALA agreed
to develop suitable training
and certification
standards. "
2 In response to this conclusion,
and
to implement the undertaking
made by IALA, a Group of
specialists on training of VTS
personnel and the
operation of VTS Centres was
established in October
1996 with the following Objectives.
- to develop model Operational Job Descriptions
for personnel selected to manage
and operate a VTS
centre. These should define the
levels of competence
and skill that would be expected
of VTS personnel who
are deemed to be fully qualified;
- to provide guidance on the recruitment
of VTS
personnel and determine the training
requirements
necessary to produce personnel
qualified to a given
Operational Job Description;
- to formulate model courses within the framework
of a training and certification
scheme which will
form an IALA Recommendation leading
to international
agreement and recognition of
VTS Personnel
requirements,
