USCG VTS & the CFR
From your CFR that any Captain should have aboard his vessel
**************************************** § 161.16 Applicability. top Unless otherwise stated, the provisions of this subpart apply to the following vessels and VMRS Users: (a) Every power-driven vessel of 40 meters (approximately 131 feet) or more in length, while navigating; (b) Every towing vessel of 8 meters (approximately 26 feet) or more in length, while navigating; or (c) Every vessel certificated to carry 50 or more passengers for hire, when engaged in trade. [CGD 90-020, 59 FR 36324, July 15, 1994, as amended by USCG-2003-14757, 68 FR 39366, July 1, 2003] ************************************************** ***** When I sail in commerical shipping lanes I find the service provided by the USCG VTS one of the best services the USCG provides us mariners. It's great, you can jump in a channel anywhere and know about everyone you will meet way beforehand, miles in advance and avoid getting in the way of a ship or tug working. You will know of any concerns of any vessel you will meet, and they will know your intentions. Don't be shy just because you are on a private vessel, the service is for all mariners big and small. For Capt Jon: http://www.uscg.mil/D11/vtssf/Traini...es33cfr161.htm Remember .....a Capt'n licences is just a licences to learn. Capt. Joe |
