THE MANDATORY SHIP REPORTING SYSTEM IN THE GULF OF FINLAND (GOFREP)
GOFREP is a Mandatory Ship Reporting System under SOLAS Regulation V/11. Shore-based facilities at TALLINN TRAFFIC, HELSINKI TRAFFIC and St. PETERSBURG TRAFFIC are able to monitor shipping movements and provide advice and information about navigational hazards and weather conditions.
Estonia, Finland and Russia believe that safe navigation in the Gulf of Finland is enhanced by the GOFREP system. The aims of GOFREP are:
* to contribute to the safety of navigation through and across the GOFREP area;
* to increase the protection of the marine environment;
* to monitor compliance with the International regulations for preventing collisions at sea (COLREGS).
The GOFREP area covers the international waters in the Gulf of Finland east of the Western Reporting Line. In addition, Estonia and Finland have implemented mandatory ship reporting systems in their territorial waters outside their VTS areas. These reporting systems provide the same services and impose the same requirements on shipping as the system operating in the international waters. The mandatory ship reporting system in the international waters of the Gulf of Finland and the Estonian and Finnish national mandatory ship reporting systems are jointly referred to as GOFREP and their area of coverage as the GOFREP area.
