In inland waterway mode it can be increased up to 2 seconds. In mixed traffic areas like seaports it shall be possible to decrease the reporting rate for dynamic information by the competent authority to ensure a balance in reporting behaviour between inland vessels and SOLAS vessels.

TTI may be provided on board of a vessel or on shore, e.g. in a VTS Centre. (Source: RIS guidelines).’;

(e)

the definition of Strategic traffic information is replaced by the following:

‘ Strategic traffic information (STI)

Strategic traffic information is the information affecting the medium and long-term decisions of RIS users. A strategic traffic image contributes to the planning decision capabilities regarding a safe and efficient voyage. A strategic traffic image is produced in a RIS centre and delivered to the users on demand. A strategic traffic image contains all relevant vessels in the RIS area with their characteristics, cargoes and positions, reported by VHF voice reporting or electronic ship reporting, stored in a database and presented in a table or on an electronic map. Strategic Traffic Information may be provided by a RIS/VTS centre or by an office. (Source: RIS guidelines)’;
