Abstract :
With the fast development of transportation at sea, establishing vessel traffic services (VTS) is reaching a new high tide in order to more effectively guarantee vessel traffic safety, protect maritime environment and increase traffic efficiency. Formal safety assessment (FSA) has been considered a powerful tool that can help ensure that limited resources are allocated scientifically for these purposes. This paper introduces the application of FSA on planning VTS.
