在准备ASMA PSC Ship Initial Inspection Checklist时，在有关船舶文件部分，发现其中有一项要求有Reef VTS User Guide，不常澳洲的航友会纳闷这到底是什么出版物？所以，本期小海哥就来分享一下这一出版物的具体内容，文末附有最新版Reef VTS User Guide 10ed 2021下载链接，需要自取！
1.Definitions and abbreviations
2. Purpose
The purpose of the Reef VTS user guide is to assist masters of ships transiting the Reef VTS area on the services provided by Reef VTS. It describes:
· the regulatory requirements for ships entering and transiting through the Reef VTS Area, including the mandatory reporting procedures, recommended shipping routes and compulsory pilotage areas;
· contact and communication requirements and
· the vessel traffic services provided by Reef VTS.
The information in this guide does not replace or change any rules in Australia’s Navigation Act 2012 which apply to waters within the Reef VTS Area (see section 4). If there is any difference between the information in the Reef VTS User Guide and the relevant laws, the relevant laws should be followed.
The master of a ship is responsible for the ship’s operation and is responsible for the safe navigation of the ship under all circumstances.
The information given here is a guide only. Any ship, owner, operator, charterer, master, or person directing the movement of a ship must still follow all relevant laws or regulations and must take any precautions required by ordinary seamanship or by the special circumstances of the case.
3. Introduction
The environmental and cultural significance of the Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait regions are internationally recognised. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park was established in 1975 and added to the World Heritage list in 1981. In 1990 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) named the Great Barrier Reef as the world’s first Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA). The IMO also named Torres Strait as a PSSA in 2005.
3.1 Reef VTS
The Queensland and Australian Governments established Reef VTS in 2004. Its purpose is to:
· make navigation in Torres Strait and the inner route of the Great Barrier Reef safer by working with shipping to give the best possible information on potential traffic conflicts and other navigational information;
· minimise the risk of maritime accidents, and therefore avoid the pollution and damage which such accidents can cause to the marine environment in the Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait; and
· assist with quick response if a safety or pollution incident does occur.
Reef VTS is operated by Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) as a VTS authorised by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) under Marine Order 64 (Vessel Traffic Services). AMSA is an agency of the Australian Federal Government, whilst MSQ is an agency of the Queensland State Government.
Reef VTS operates 24 hours a day from the Townsville and Gladstone VTS Centres, situated on the Queensland coast. Reef VTS uses information from many sources, including the Automatic Identification System (AIS), Radar, Automated Position Reports (APR) via Inmarsat C and the route plans that vessels provide to Reef VTS.
3.2 Vessel Traffic Service (VTS)
To assist with the safe navigation of ships, Reef VTS:
· monitors the movement of participating ships in the Reef VTS Area,
· provides timely, relevant and accurate information to reporting ships,
· maintains a listening watch on Reef VTS VHF working channels,
receives the information provided by masters under the REEFREPmandatory ship reporting requirements; and
· responds to requests for information, such as ship traffic and maritime safety information.
· respond and report to marine incidents within the Reef VTS area.
If Reef VTS has additional information which may help decision-making on-board a vessel, Reef VTS may contact that vessel.
3.3 Authority
The Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait Ship Reporting System (REEFREP) was established as a mandatory ship reporting system under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS Regulation V/11). REEFREP was formally adopted by the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee in Resolution MSC.52(66), and later amended by Resolutions MSC.161(78) and MSC.315(88).
Australia’s Navigation Act 2012 gives the general power to make regulations to implement SOLAS (s339) and the related power to make Australian Marine Orders (s342). The laws about mandatory ship reporting are based on these powers.
Marine Order 63 (Vessel reporting systems) 2019 states that ships which are required to report to Reef VTS must do so whether they are voyaging overseas, between states or within one state.
Reef VTS manages and operates REEFREP.
4. Reef VTS Area
The Reef VTS Area is described as follows and in Marine Order 63 (Vessel reporting systems) 2019.
The waters bounded by a line commencing at:
· Slade Point on the coastline of the mainland of Australia on the north-west coast of Cape York Peninsula in approximate position Latitude 10° 56.973’ South, Longitude 142° 08.088’ East,

· then generally easterly along the PSSA boundary to its intersection with the meridian of Longitude 144° 00.00’ East (includes the waters of Torres Strait with Endeavour Strait, Great North East Channel and to Bramble Cay)
· then south along the meridian of Longitude 144° 00.00’ East to its intersection with the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef at approximate Latitude 10° 41.00’ South,
then in a generally south and south-east direction along the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef to approximate Latitude 21° 00.00’ South, Longitude152° 30.00’ East, · then east to Latitude 21° 00.00’ South, Longitude 152° 55.00’ East,
· then south-easterly to Latitude 23° 42.00’ South, Longitude 153° 45.00’ East,
· then generally south-south-westerly to Latitude 24° 30.000’ South, Longitude 153° 35.00’ East, · then east to the coastline at approximate Latitude 24° 30.00’ South, Longitude 152° 02.581’ East,
· then generally northerly following the coastline of the mainland to the starting point, excluding the Vessel Traffic Service areas at the limits of Gladstone, Hay Point, Mackay, Abbott Point, Townsville and Cairns.
Reef VTS area has been divided into two regions, Reef VTS North and Reef VTS South. The Reef VTS area is separated at Latitude 18° 00.00"South. There has been no change to the REEFREP requirements Refer 9 Mandatory Reporting Requirements.
Chartlet 1 - Reef VTS Area North and South
5. Ships required to report to Reef VTS
5.1 General obligation
The following categories of ships must report to Reef VTS:
· all ships with an overall length of 50 metres or more;
· all oil tankers, liquefied gas carriers, chemical tankers or ships coming within the Irradiated Nuclear Fuel (INF) Code, including those with an overall length of less than 50 metres; and
· Ships which are towing or pushing, or being towed or pushed, where either of the ships belongs to category a) or category b), or where the overall length of the tow is 150 meters or more. The overall length of the tow is measured from the stern of the towing vessel to the after end of the tow.
5.2 Voluntary reporting
Other vessels transiting the Reef VTS Area may report on a voluntary basis as defined in this user guide.
5.3 Warships, naval auxiliaries and government ships
SOLAS Regulation V/11 does not apply to any warship, naval auxiliary, or any ship owned or operated by government; however, SOLAS does state that “such ships are encouraged to participate in ship reporting systems”.
The Australian Government fully supports this approach, and all ships of the Royal Australian Navy are encouraged to participate in REEFREP on a voluntary basis, along with other ships owned or operated by the Australian Government.
6. Master’s responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the ship’s master while in the Reef VTS Area to:
· follow the ship reporting requirements – these are described in Marine Orders and outlined in this user guide;
· confirm that information from Reef VTS has been received when asked to do so;
· respond appropriately to all information, warnings, and advice given by Reef VTS;
· keep a listening watch on Reef VTS VHF working channels;
· make sure that the Inmarsat C terminal is logged into the Pacific Ocean Region (POR) at all times; and
· to ensure that the AIS is transmitting the correct data for the vessel
· as soon as possible, notify Reef VTS of any:
a) incident/accident affecting the ship’s safety;
b) incident/accident affecting safety of navigation;
c) defects affecting the ships safety or navigation
d) circumstance that may cause pollution;
e) pollutants/containers/packages drifting;
f) change to route plan.
Correct reporting is essential to enable Reef VTS to facilitate the safe navigation of ships through the Reef VTS Area.
For further information please refer to Marine Order 63 (Vessel Reporting Systems) 2019 and Marine Order 64 (Vessel Traffic Services) 2013.
7. Failure to report
Any master, or officer of the watch at the time, who fails to follow the required reporting procedures, or who deliberately transmits information, which is incorrect, false or misleading, will have committed an offence and may be fined if convicted.
Section 215 and 216 of the Navigation Act 2012 makes it an offence for a person to fail to report the required information or provide false or misleading information. The penalty is up to 240 penalty units (presently A$53,280) or a civil penalty of 2,400 penalty units (presently A$532,800).
8. Communication with Reef VTS
Communication with Reef VTS is in English, using IMO’s Standard Marine Communication Phrases.
The means of communication can be using VHF radio (voice); Mobile Satellite Service (Inmarsat C) or other means.
8.1 VHF Radio
VHF Radio – Reef VTS can be contacted 24 hours a day on either VHF Channel 11 or 14 (radio call sign – Reef VTS). The channel to be used will depend on the ship’s position as shown in the following table and Chartlet 2 on the next page.
Table 1 Reef VTS Working channels
8.2 Inmarsat C
Reef VTS will pay the cost of messages sent by Inmarsat C if the ship uses the special access codes (SAC)
SAC 862 for North entry exit points or SAC 863 for Southern entry/exit points via POR LES 212.
Inmarsat C terminals must be logged into the Pacific Ocean Region (POR).
8.3 Other communications
If for any reason a ship cannot communicate via Inmarsat C or the VHF working channel, the ship must send
the required information to Reef VTS in another way. The ship can use one of the following:
· Telephone: +61 1300 721 293
· Email: reefvtsnorth@msq.qld.gov.au or reefvtssouth@msq.qld.gov.au (depending on location within the Reef VTS area. See Chartlet 1
If a ship’s radio equipment fails and the ship cannot send the required reports to Reef VTS, the failure must
be recorded in the ship’s radio logbook or the official logbook.
9. Mandatory reporting requirements
A ship as mentioned in section 5 of this guide, must send the following reports to Reef VTS:
· Entry Report (ER) see 9.2.1.
· An Entry Report must be made at least 1 hour before a vessel:

10. Reef VTS
The purpose of VTS is to contribute to safety of life at sea, safety and efficiency of navigation and the protection of the environment within the VTS area by mitigating the development of unsafe situations through:
· The provision of timely and relevant information on factors that may influence the ship"s movements and assist on-board decision making.
· The monitoring and management of ship traffic to ensure the safety and efficiency of ship movements.
· Responding to developing unsafe situations
The information that Reef VTS uses comes from AIS, Radar, Automated Position Reporting (APR) via Inmarsat C and the route plans which ships have given to Reef VTS. Route plans are only as accurate as the information that is given in these reports and masters are encouraged to take care that reports are correct.
Navigational support can be provided to a vessel on request from the master or by observation if the VTS Operator deems it necessary.
Reef VTS may not know about all the hazards in the Reef VTS Area. If a ship encounters any hazard which is not already included in Maritime Safety Information (for example, a faulty navigational aid), it should advise Reef VTS.
10.1 VTS Information
10.1.1 Ship Encounter Information (SEI)
Reef VTS predicts ship encounters and sends this information to individual ships as Ship Encounter Information (SEI), usually through Inmarsat C messaging. SEI is specific for each individual vessel there is no general broadcasts.
Reef VTS advises individual ships of SEI:
· when the ship enters the Reef VTS Area;
· when a ship enters an SEI calculation area; and,
· at any other time when requested by a vessel.
10.1.2 Ship Encounter Information Message
A ship will receive SEI about predicted ship encounters and Maritime Safety Information (MSI) for the next nominated hours of its transit. Depending on the SEI calculation area
The SEI message information is separated into two sections;
· Ship Encounter: the situation that two participating vessels are (predicted to be) near to each other.
· Vessel in Area: an identified vessel with no route that is in the predicted area around a participating vessel for which an SEI message is calculated.
10.1.2.1 How to interpret Ship encounter information.
The Ship encounter information message is to be read as follows.
1. Name of ship to be encountered,
2. Location of the predicted encounter (Latitude/longitude),
3. At date and time of encounter
4. Course and speed of the ship to encounter, and
5. CPA/TCPA. (distance to encounter/ time to encounter)
Within the message letter indicators will be displayed to provide additional information, such as;
(P) ship is piloted
(NP) ship has no pilot
(DD) Deep draught >= 10 metres
(T) Towing vessel.
Vessel in the area, lists the vessel name, vessel location (latitude/Longitude), vessel course and speed.
Figure 1 SEI Example
10.1.3 New or changed traffic information
Reef VTS monitors the transit of a ship to identify any significant changes to the traffic information which Reef VTS has previously given. An example of this could be when a new ship is identified or there is a change in estimated time of arrival (ETA) because of an increase or decrease in speed.
If deemed necessary, Reef VTS may re calculate SEI for a vessel.
10.1.3.1 Shipping information updates
During a ships transit through the Reef VTS area the ship may receive multiple SEI messages depending on the size of the SEI Calculation area or transiting through multiple SEI calculation areas.
A ship may contact Reef VTS at any time to ask for an SEI update.
10.1.3.2 Receiving ship encounter information
Reef VTS provides SEI in different ways:
· Electronic messages to ships: Inmarsat C
(a) The ship must give Reef VTS the make, model and IMN of the ship’s Inmarsat C terminal.
(b) Please make sure messages from Reef VTS are read when they are received. If a problem exists in receiving electronic messages, then contact Reef VTS to arrange for SEI to be provided by VHF communications.
· VHF voice communications
(c) Ships must keep a listening watch on the Reef VTS VHF working channels. Reef VTS uses VHF channels 11 and 14 as shown in section 11
10.1.4 SEI Area Chartlets
The following chartlets show the areas where SEI is calculated and provided to ships transiting these areas
Chartlet 3 - Torres Strait, east to Dalrymple PBG, south to Clerke Island
Chartlet 4 - North Pipon to Cape Flattery
Chartlet 5 - Fitzroy Island Approaches
Chartlet 6 - Hydrographers Passage to Hay Point VTS Area
10.1.5 Maritime Safety Information (MSI)
Reef VTS provides ships Maritime Safety Information (MSI) that is relevant to their location and intended movement. If a ship encounters any hazard that may affect the navigational safety of other ships, it should contact Reef VTS.
MSI is sent to ships with the Ship Traffic Information. MSI is also given in broadcasts from JRCC Australia in the form of navigational warnings (AusCoast Warnings).
Figure 2 MSI Example
10.2 Responding to developing unsafe situations.
Responding to developing unsafe situations involves support to the navigational safety of the ship through the provision of essential navigational information to assist on board navigational decision-making. It may also involve the provision of navigational advice and/or instruction.
If Reef VTS has information which may help decision-making on-board a ship, Reef VTS may contact that ship.
If Reef VTS believes that the ship is heading into and unsafe situation (IE entering shallow water or deviating from a planned route). Reef VTS may contact a ship in response to the developing situation
A ship may receive information or advice in all areas within the Reef VTS area.
The master remains responsible for the safe navigation of the ship at all times and should not rely on the availability of navigational assistance from Reef VTS.
11. Other rules and regulations
11.1 Pilotage areas in the Reef VTS area
Under Australian law "regulated ships must carry a licensed coastal pilot in sections of the Torres Strait and the Great Barrier Reef. Coastal pilots are licensed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
A "regulated ship’ includes ships with an overall length of 70 metres or more, and all loaded oil tankers, chemical tankers and liquefied gas carriers (irrespective of length).
A coastal pilot is required for a tug and tow if either the towing vessel or the vessel being towed has an overall length of 70 metres or more, regardless of the length of tow.
The areas where a coastal pilot is required are shown in Chartlet 7. Ship masters must ensure that a pilot is aboard the ship at all times in these areas (by embarking the pilot prior to entry and disembarking the pilot after exiting the pilotage area).
The Queensland Coastal Passage Plan (QCPP) has been developed as a guide for the conduct of coastal pilotage in these areas.
Further information on coastal pilotage and QCPP is available on the AMSA website www.amsa.gov.au (under Coastal Pilotage).
11.1.1 Great Barrier Reef – Inner Route, Hydrographers Passage and Whitsundays
All regulated ships must carry a licensed coastal pilot when they are transiting through:
· the Inner Route of the Great Barrier Reef between Cape York (latitude 10° 41’ S) and the vicinity of Cairns Roads (latitude 16° 40’ S);
· Hydrographers Passage; and
· the Whitsundays.
Further information including the boundaries of these pilotage areas can be found in Marine Orders Part 54 (Coastal Pilotage) and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Regulations (1983).
Chartlet 7 - Coastal pilotage and Designated Shipping Area (DSA)
11.1.2 Torres Strait – Great North Eastern Channel
All regulated ships with a draught of 8 metres or more must have a licensed coastal pilot on-board when transiting Torres Strait Compulsory Pilotage Area A (bounded by the longitudes 141° 50’ E and 142° 05’ E for ships moving eastward and between 142° 05’ E and 141° 51.70’ E for ships moving westward).
All regulated ships of any draught must have a licensed coastal pilot on-board when transiting Torres Strait Pilotage Area B (bounded by the longitudes 142° 05’ E and 143° 22’ E for ships moving eastward, and 142° 05’ E and 143° 24’ E for ships moving westward).
The outermost boundaries have been established to ensure that a pilot boarding a ship entering the Torres Strait has sufficient preparation time on-board prior to entering the respective pilotage area. Further information on coastal pilotage is available in Marine Order 54 (Coastal Pilotage).
11.2 Torres Strait – Under Keel Clearance Management
AMSA has introduced an Under-Keel Clearance Management (UKCM) System. The goal of this system is to improve the safety and efficiency of shipping through Torres Strait. This is a web-based system for enhancing the safety of vessels whose keel is close to the seabed in the shallow Torres Strait region.
The use of UKCM system is mandatory for all vessels with a draught of 9 metres to a maximum draught of 12.5 metres for all vessels.
However, circumstances may warrant use of the UKCM system for vessels of lesser draught.
The responsibility for safe navigation continues to reside with mariners (masters and pilots) through the appropriate use of the UKCM System.
More information on the UKCM System is available at the AMSA website www.amsa.gov.au
Figure 3 Torres Strait Under Keel Clearance Management Corridor
11.3 Designated Shipping Areas in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) has put in place a Designated Shipping Area and General Use Zones within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park as part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning Plan.
Ship operators need a permit from GBRMPA to navigate outside the Designated Shipping Area and General Use Zones. See figure 3.
A penalty of up to 2,000 penalty units (presently A$444,000) for an individual and 20,000 penalty units (presently A$4,440,000) for a body corporate applies if a ship is navigated outside the Designated Shipping Area and the General Use Zones without written permission from GBRMPA.
Further information is available from GBRMPA by phoning +61 7 4750 0700, emailing info@gbrmpa.gov.au or at the GBRMPA website www.gbrmpa.gov.au.
11.4 MASTREP
The Modernised Australian Ship Tracking and Reporting System (MASTREP) is a ship reporting system operated by AMSA and is part of the services offered by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC Australia) in Canberra.
MASTREP is designed to minimise the reporting requirements on vessels by using AIS technology to provide positional advice to AMSA. There is no requirement in MASTREP to send Sailing Plans, Deviation Reports and Final Reports.
Marine Order 63 (Vessel reporting systems) 2019 defines the MASTREP area and lists the ships which must report to MASTREP. The system is mandatory for:
· foreign vessels from the arrival at its first port in Australia until its departure from its final port in Australia; and
· all regulated Australian vessels whilst in the MASTREP area
Please note that no positive search and rescue watch is maintained in MASTREP. It is a passive ship reporting system and does not involve shore to vessel communications for normal operation. The requirement to report all marine incidents including defects and deficiencies using form "AMSA 18’ and form "AMSA 19’ remains. Additionally, Information Reports may be sent to JRCC Australia to provide advice relating to items not covered under AMSA 18 or 19 reporting requirements, for example floating navigational hazards.
Further information is provided in the MASTREP and Australian Mandatory Reporting Guide. This guide is available from AMSA offices or the AMSA website www.amsa.gov.au.
11.5 Pollution reporting
The MARPOL 73/78 definition of “nearest land” prohibits operational discharges in the Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait regions.
The following should be reported to Reef VTS:
· any quantity of oil (including diesel fuel, petrol and oil products);
· any discharge from a ship of chemicals or chemical residues; or
· garbage (food waste, glass, plastic etc.).
· Information on reporting ship sourced pollution is available on:
· AMSA website www.amsa.gov.au
· MSQ website www.msq.qld.gov.au/Marine-pollution
12. Standard route plans
12.1 Inner route
There are three standard route plans for transiting the Reef VTS area by the inner route between Booby and Sandy Cape. The route plan applies in either direction of the transit and also applies to any portion of the inner route.
The standard route plan should be communicated to Reef VTS by stating:
· inner route;
· predefined route by communicating the ship’s draught of deep, moderate or shallow; and
· the name of any alternative legs intended to be taken that vary from the standard route (for example, shaded boxes) for that draught category.
For example, a ship plans to transit the inner route, moderate draught route via Varzin Passage (rather than using the standard route via Gannet Passage). This should be communicated to Reef VTS as “INNER ROUTE, MODERATE VIA VARZIN”.
Table 8 Standard Inner Routes
12.2 Great North East Channel
Ships transiting the Great North East Channel (GNE) enter or exit the Reef VTS area in two main locations. These are Booby or Bramble.
The standard route plan should be communicated to Reef VTS by stating:
· GNE Channel;
· the first set of alternative legs intended to be taken; and
· the second set of alternative legs intended to be taken.
For example, a ship enters at Booby and exits at Bramble, the first leg is via Varzin Passage and the second leg is via West of Coconut Island. This should be communicated to Reef VTS as
GNE, VIA VARZIN AND WEST OF COCONUT ISLAND”.
Table 9 GNE Routes
The Queensland Coastal Passage Plan provides more details on routes, waypoints and navigation aids in the pilotage areas (outlined in Section 11.1). The Queensland Coastal Passage Plan can be accessed from the AMSA website www.amsa.gov.au (under Coastal Pilotage) and is also available in hard copy.
12.3 Reef VTS Chartlets
The following chartlets show:
· details of the standard routes and alternatives;
· the VHF working channels;
Chartlet 8 - Use VHF channel 14 where available
Chartlet 9 - Use VHF channel 11 between latitudes 13° 30S and 18°S
Chartlet 10 - Use VHF channel 14 where available between latitudes 18°S and 20°S
