| Introduction |
| The Turkish Straits VTS has been established
in accordance with applicable national laws and international
rules and regulations in order to improve the safety of navigation,
protection of life, environment, and property in the Turkish
Straits by using the latest technology. This User's Guide
has been prepared to provide information related to the services
provided, needed by the participant vessels that are navigating
in the Turkish Straits. This User's Guide aims to be used
together with the Turkish Straits Maritime Traffic Regulations,
as promulgated in the Official Gazette no.23515 of 6 November
1998. |

IMO Resolutions A.857(20) and A.827(19) provides the Information
Service, Navigational Assistance Service and Traffic Organization
Service. |
| |
| Service Area |
| The TSVTS covers the area indicated in figures
no. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (in the near future the Marmara Sea
area will also be covered so that the entire area of the Turkish
Straits will be included in the TSVTS service area). |
| |
| Active Participant Vessel |
| Vessels carrying dangerous cargo and vessels
20 meters in length or over, whether in stopover or non-stopover
passage through the Turkish Straits, for whatever purpose,
shall be designated as "Active Participant" vessels within
the TSVTS area and it is strongly recommended that Active
Participant vessels comply with all the requirements of TUBRAP. |
| |
| Passive Participant Vessel |
| Vessels less than 20 meters in length and local
traffic vessels within the TSVTS area, for whatever purpose,
shall be designated as "Passive Participant" vessels.
Passive participants are not required to participate in
TUBRAP. However, VHF frequency of the sector should be monitored
at all times and all messages given by the TSVTS should
be followed within the TSVTS Area.
|
| |
| Caution |
Within the TSVTS system, an ENC, prepared
based upon WGS 84 datum, is in service. Participants using
charts of a different datum should make the necessary datum
corrections for the positions given by the TSVTS in latitudes
and longitudes.

necessary the Administration, based upon the data provided
by such vessels, shall inform the relevant vessel's owner,
operator or master, of the requirements and recommendations,
if any, necessary to ensure a safe passage of the vessel through
the Turkish Straits, taking into consideration all specifications
of the vessels including the dimensions and maneuvering capabilities,

the condition of the season the navigation, safety of life,
property and environment as well as the maritime traffic;
the subject matter vessels that possess the necessary conditions
for passage submit a SP 1 at least 72 hours in advance. |

- In circumstances deemed to be necessary, the TSVTS operator
may repeat a message in English to Turkish and/or vice-versa.
- When communicating with the TSVTS care should be exercised
not to speak rapidly and to pronounce words correctly.
|
|
TSVTS shall operate in VHF/ RT channels 11, 12, 13 and
14.
"Except as related to safety of navigation all other communication
on these channels is forbidden."
The VTS operator of sector concerned is responsible for maintaining
the proper communication procedures on the VHF channel of
his/her sector and has the duty to report every misuse of
the frequency to the Authorities.
VHF 06 will be used for emergencies.
VHF 67 has been designated for meteorological purposes. However
may be used for making general announcements by the TSVTS
when needed.
In principle, while inside the TSVTS area and as far as
is practicable, there should be no communication between
vessels; all communication shall be conducted through the
TSVTS. Working channels should not be used outside of the
TSVTS purpose.
Keeping in mind that the system provides ships positions
and records all communications, all stations transmitting
on VHF should refrain from unnecessary communications and
maintain at all times proper communication discipline.

| SERVICES PROVIDED |
| Marine Traffic in the TSVTS delineated area
is monitored by using Radar, ENC, AIS, CCTV and VHF equipment
such as VHF R/T, DSC and DF. TSVTS also receives information
from various sources on anticipated vessel movements, hazards
to navigation, aids to navigation and any other information
of interests to TSVTS participants. |
| |
| Information Service |
|
|
| |
| Navigational Assistance Service |
Navigational Assistance Service will be provided
when severe meteorological situations have been observed,
deficiencies or breakdowns have occurred during the passage
of the participants, when required by the master or the person
in charge or, when deemed necessary by the TSVTS. With regard
to the safety of navigation, decision making process on the
bridge of the participant vessels may be assisted by providing
the following information:
- Position information in order to ensure safe navigation
of vessels sailing within the TSS
- Information about movements of other vessels in the
vicinity
- Warnings with regard to dangerous situations that might
develop
The beginning and ending time of the navigational assistance
service must be clearly agreed and recorded by the Master
and TSVTS operator
|
| |
| Traffic Organization Service |
This service is constituted from the following
items:
- Vessel Sailing Plan and its entry permission, time and
date to the Straits of �stanbul and �anakkale.
- Any changes to the Sailing Plan.
- Operational information before entering the Straits
related to the traffic organization.
- Operational information based upon the Turkish Straits
Maritime Traffic Regulations.
- The SP 1 and SP 2 Reports constitute the primary sources
for traffic organization service provided by the TSVTS.
Timely and accurate reporting of SP 1 and SP 2 will increase
the efficiency of traffic organization.
Vessels that do not provide correct and timely information
will disrupt the orderly flow of maritime traffic and may
lead to delays as a result.
|
| |
| DEFINITIONS OF MAIN MESSAGE MARKERS
USED BY THE VTS |
| |
Information: The TSVTS analyses the
information collected from different sources and distributes
such data to participants according to their requests and
needs. Information may be given by the TSVTS at regular intervals
or as requested by the participants or when deemed necessary
by the TSVTS. The purpose of informing participants is to
facilitate the safe navigation of vessels and to assist the
ship masters in taking decisions.
Recommendation: TSVTS operators in charge, in order
to prevent a potentially dangerous situation or when deemed
necessary, may make recommendations to all participant vessels
such as the taking of a pilot (for active participants only)
or regarding maneuvers to be made. Such recommendations do
not relieve the master or person in charge of his or her responsibility
to navigate the vessel safely. Abiding by the recommendations
is solely at the initiative of the master or the person in
charge. However it must be kept in mind at all times that
the Supervisors and the Operators of the TSVTS are former
ocean-going shipmasters who have been properly trained and
licensed in accordance with IALA criteria.
Warning : TSVTS operators in charge will issue warnings
to the participants when a potentially dangerous situation
occurs or is observed to be developing. TSVTS, after issuing
a warning, will monitor whether or not care had been exercised
and action to prevent the accident or dangerous situation
had been taken.
Instruction: TSVTS may give instructions to all participant
vessels upon the development of an imminent and unavoidable
danger, the violation of safety rules and regulations, when
a participant is not or does not seem to be aware of an imminent
and obvious danger or in case of a warning is ignored by a
participant vessel.
Instructions given by the TSVTS shall always be result oriented,
however all factors that affect navigation, such as the steering
or engine orders shall at all times remain with the decision
of those on board i.e. the master or pilot.
The TSVTS, while providing these services, shall at all times
respect the master's ultimate responsibility to control his/her
vessel and shall exercise care not to interfere with the traditional
master-pilot relationship.
Taking into consideration that all decisions concerning the
safe navigation of a vessel shall be the sole responsibility
of the master. Information, recommendations, warnings and
instructions provided by the TSVTS to the participants with
regard to safety of navigation shall at no time relieve the
Master of his/her responsibility to manage his/her vessel
and possess the requisite knowledge and responsibility. The
TSVTS shall at no time be held responsible for decisions and
actions taken by the Master. |
| |
