The interface between the bridge team and shore-based authorities such as the VTS is crucial in ensuring safe passage in and out of port or though a busy stretch of coastal water. This programme looks at this relationship in the context of a vessel passing through the Straits of Dover under the guidance of the Channel Navigation Information Service (CNIS) and then entering the Port of Rotterdam. The programme examines the role of the various participants and stresses the need for clear communication at all times.
