Anchored vessels shall keep continuous watch on VHF channels 16 and 14 and report any extraordinary event liable to jeopardize the safety of navigation and/or represent a risk for the marine environment.

A mandatory traffic separation scheme, approved by the IMO (COLREG 2/54 Circ. on May 28, 2004), is established in Trieste VTS Area for vessels sailing in the Gulf of Trieste (Attachment No. 3) The following port entry and exit channels are established2 within the roadstead (see graphic excerpt in Annex 4 ): - NORTH CHANNEL: vessels heading to, or coming from, Porto Franco Vecchio, Porto Doganale, Porto Franco Nuovo, Arsenale Triestino S. Marco, Scalo Legnami and Banchina Altiforni di Servola shall sail through the NORTH channel. In case of heavy weather, depending on the vessels movements in the port, the duty pilot may enter or exit from the port through the SOUTH channel instead, after obtaining permission by Trieste VTS. Vessels with a draft of over 14 metres are not allowed transit through the NORTH channel. When sailing in the NORTH channel, vessels shall, as a general rule, keep to STARBOARD, as follows: - when entering, they shall sail south of the traffic separation line, thus leaving the elastic seamark signalling the end of the submarine pipeline (no. 4446 of the Lighthouses and Light Beacons List) to starboard; - when exiting, they shall sail north of the traffic separation line, thus leaving the elastic seamark signalling the end of the submarine pipeline (no. 4446 of the Lighthouses and Light Beacons List) to port. Vessels are normally not allowed to cross the channel in the North-South direction, unless a pilot is aboard and provided that procedures and times have been previously arranged with the Pilots’ Station, after obtaining permission by Trieste VTS. - SOUTH CHANNEL : tankers shall entry and exit Trieste harbour through the South Channel. Ships other than tankers who are bound to the “Vallone di Muggia” moorings can pass through either the NORTH or the SOUTH channel, depending on traffic. Those tankers that, due either to their size, or their draught or manoeuvring hindrances, cannot sail through the NORTH Channel safely may also use the SOUTH Channel upon prior clearance by Trieste VTS. The SOUTH Channel, as far off as the inner part of the port, in no case may be engaged by two vessels simultaneously (priority shall be given to the outbound). In case the channel has been engaged by an outgoing tanker, then an inbound one will not be allowed entering until the former has not completed its manoeuvre. If a tanker is manoeuvring inside the channel, then any other vessels who are moored in the “Vallone di Muggia” area are forbidden to start any manoeuvres. Any possible movements of craft belonging to port services or public transport shall previously be planned and coordinated between these and the pilot station, and cleared by Trieste VTS.
