Statute overview

About this statute

This section defines shipping-related terms used in the law. Section 3 says the law applies to certain vessel traffic services and vessel traffic control situations, with exceptions and a minimum vessel size rule. The competent authority must establish vessel traffic service in a specific area and must first assess the need for it. VTS operators must be qualified to do the service safely and efficiently; a person with a valid certificate and workplace training may serve as a VTS operator; and the VTS authority must maintain a quality system that is reviewed at least every five years. VTS-myndigheten must övervaka sjötrafiksystem, upprätta ett nationellt informationssystem, och can decide on assistance to ships in need; shippers and ship operators must make cargo notifications for dangerous or polluting goods in the listed cases.
