Acknowledgments
The Committee on Advances in Navigation and Piloting owes a debt of
gratitude to the many individuals and organizations that contributed to this as-
sessment. It was an undertaking that far exceeded the committee's expectations
in terms of its complexity.
The committee acknowledges and expresses its gratitude for the special
technical support provided by many members of the marine community. In par-
ticular: Thomas Allegretti, The American Waterways Operators, coordinated and
moderated towing industry presentations to the committee at its Houston meet-
ing, and he coordinated preparation of a technical paper for the committee on
pilotage in the towing industry; Scott Bartlett and Richard Kenney, Sperry Ma-
rine, hosted a demonstration and provided technical information on integrated
bridge systems (IBS) and vessel traffic services (VTS) technology; Joseph Cox,
American Institute of Merchant Shipping, coordinated and moderated shipping-
industry presentations to the committee at its Houston meeting; Edward T. Gates,
Arceneaux and Gates, provided insight on hydrodynamic forces acting on ships;
John Hartke, U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, provided technical advice on fed-
eral pilotage; Paul Kirschner, American Pilots' Association, provided technical
support concerning state pilotage laws and regulations; John MacLeod, Canadi-
an Coast Guard Traffic Centre Vancouver, provided background support for the
VTS assessment and hosted a visit to his facility; Donald Jarrell, Canadian Coast
Guard Traffic Centre Vancouver, provided technical insight on the similarities
and differences between air traffic control and marine traffic regulation in the
Port of Vancouver, British Columbia; and Warren Schneeweis, U.S. Coast Guard
Vessel Traffic Service New York, and Spencer Martin, Canadian Coast Guard,

Ottawa, provided technical support for the committee's background assessment
of VTS. Essential encouragement and technical support was also provided by
Pat J. Neely, American Pilots' Association; George Quick, International Organi-
zation of Masters, Mates, and Pilots; and William A. Arata, Biscayne Bay Pilots.
The assistance that was provided in arranging meetings, testimony, site vis-
its, and observation trips, and in preparing descriptions of pilotage routes, prac-
tices, administration, and professional development programs, was invaluable to
the completion of the committee's work. The committee wishes to especially
acknowledge those who, in addition to corresponding with the committee, met
with members and staff during meetings and site visits to provide the range of
perspectives and technical detail that was necessary to the preparation of a com-
prehensive report.
During the course of the study, a delegation of committee members visited
selected locations in Europe. The committee is especially indebted to W. Ph. van
Maanen, formerly with the Rotterdam Port Authority, who assisted in organizing
and moderating substantial presentations and discussions of marine navigation
and piloting issues in the Netherlands, and who provided reference materials on
the use of marine simulation for waterways design and professional develop-
ment. Marianne Roelofs, Rotterdam Port Authority, assisted with arrangements
for the delegation's meetings in Rotterdam.
Special thanks are also extended to the many participants who made the
Rotterdam meetings a success, including S. N. Zuurbier, Bernt R. Koning, and
Jan Kloos, Reg. Loodsencorporatie Rotterdam-Rijnmond, who provided detailed
insight on pilotage in the Netherlands and arranged and coordinated a visit to the
Rotterdam Pilot's North Sea station boats; Robert Hofstee, Rotterdam Pilots,
who provided advice and arranged for a committee member to observe the pilot-
ing of a very large crude carrier into the Maas River; J. Hussem, who hosted the
delegation's visit to the Flushing VTS, Scheldt Coordination Centre, and ar-
ranged and moderated presentations on marine traffic regulation and crisis man-
agement involving both Belgian and Dutch authorities; James Lindahl, SILJA
Line Ferries, who graciously arranged for members of the delegation to observe
the operation of IBS on the Stockholm-Turku and Stockholm-Helsinki routes;
Olle Noord, master, Motor Ship Silja Symphony, who provided detailed advice
on the use of IBS; I. M. H. Slater, Thames Navigation Service, who briefed
members of the delegation on VTS operations, hosted a visit to the London VTS,
and provided technical advice; James Whitton, Thames Navigation Service, who
briefed the committee on changes in pilotage in the United Kingdom and hosted
a visit to the Port of London Authority pilot station; Benny Pettersson, who
provided insight on constant radius turns and use of IBS in piloting; Bo Lill-
jegren, Sven G. Gylden, and Hans O. G. Hederstrom, who provided insight on
pilotage in Sweden and hosted a visit to the Gothenburg pilot station and VTS;
Captain Beitikainen, Finnish Pilots Association, Martti Heikkila, Technical Re-
search Center of Finland, and Dieter Muntzel, Helsinki Port Authority, who
