dc.description.abstractThis manual is intended to provide the user with information necessary to participate in the Houston-Galveston Vessel Traffic Service. The Vessel Traffic Service is a vessel movement reporting system operated by the Coast Guard. The service uses a VHF-FM communication network manned continuously by personnel in the Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Center in Houston, Texas. The Center processes information received from vessels which provide reports and disseminates information to other participating vessels operating in the Vessel Traffic Service area. It is a goal of the Service to improve vessel transit safety by providing participating vessels advance information of other vessel movements and any additional reported information which may affect vessel traffic safety whining the Vessel Traffic Service area. The mariner is cautioned that information provided by the Vessel Traffic Center is, to a large extent, generated from the reports of the participating vessels and can be no more accurate than the reports received. Additionally, the Coast Guard may not have first hand knowledge of hazardous circumstances existing in the Vessel Traffic Service area. Unreported hazards may still confront the mariner at any time. The Coast Guard welcomes any suggestions that may improve this manual or the Houston-Galveston Vessel Traffic Service.en_US
