Most pilots consider the " VTS kids" lacking in experience. Simple solution: Every active pilot should do a shift as VTS Advisor and be authorized to communicate directly with any vessel if there is any doubt as to its actions. With 60 pilots on the rolls there is no unreasonable hardship and the expertise and local knowledge is contantly available. The pilots can afford it and use the experience. VTS is part of the ordinary practice of seaman, and no one is too old to learn. Being part of the solution is better than being guardians of the bay.
