Abstract Based on operational manuals as well as observations and interviews during several visits to operating Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) centers, some basic problems in the selection and training of VTS watchstanders are identified and evaluated. Recommendations are made with regard to selection criteria and selection tests, and the evaluation of one potential selection test is presented. A training program, including both general preparation at a resident school and special training at the VTS site, is proposed. Progress in establishment of the resident course is reviewed, and guidelines are offered for the development and conduct of on-site training. (Author)
