🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 161 – Vessel Traffic Management reporting requirements • What information VTS needs immediately to manage traffic and collision risk • Difference between ongoing navigational safety conditions versus administrative or background details

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which items directly affect how the VTS will route or control traffic in real time, moment‑to‑moment? • Which option looks more like an administrative detail about the mariner, rather than a condition of the vessel or its safe navigation? • Which items clearly match things a VTS watchstander must know right away if something goes wrong with the vessel’s ability to maneuver or navigate?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each choice to the types of reports listed in 33 CFR 161.19 / local VTS rules (defects, casualties, hazards, etc.). • Identify which options describe equipment or conditions that change the vessel’s maneuverability or navigational safety. • Check which choice is about the person’s license/credential, and ask whether VTS normally tracks that in a standard movement report.
