Abstract
This article is a personal view on why the need for port and coastal VTS (vessel traffic service) services are needed around the world and in places where the need was never perceived before. From a professional former mariner's perspective the growth of VTS exactly mirrors the reduction in the standards of marine officer and the resulting reduction in the regard for the profession as a whole.
