The U.S. Coast Guard should take the following steps while moving forward with the overall program: · develop, standardize, and implement objective criteria for selecting ports to be served by federally funded vessel traffic services systems; upgrade existing systems; implement new systems that are urgently needed · develop training, certification, watchstanding, and operating standards applicable to all vessel traffic services regardless of who operates them as the competent authority, ensure that all shore-based vessel traffic management activities, regardless of who operates them, comply with established international standards · facilitate communication among ports on lessons learned about the implementation of these systems UNIVERSAL CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS Consistent traffic management depends on all vessels, or at least all vessels of certain sizes using specific waterways, carrying the same basic information systems and operating them according to uniform standards.
