Experienced VTS operators, users, planners and trainers from all parts of the world are being encouraged to submit a paper, for which the deadline for submission is 30 March 2015.
The symposium itself will be focused on the provision, operation, maintenance and use of VTS.
Topics up for discussion will include future trends in VTS, centred around forward planning and expertise with a view towards facilitation. The supporting role of VTS in security will also be looked with a view to law enforcement.
The International Framework for VTS and national regulatory provisions will also be on the agenda. This will look at how contracting governments implement their obligations in domestic law and shared VTS experience.
