We always work closely with our colleagues in the Canadian Coast Guard on all aspects of navigation safety, including the approach of vessels to Canadian waters. No matter what coastline a ship approaches from to enter a port, there is a monitoring system that is maintained by vessel traffic officers. When the ship sends its report 24 hours before its approach to Canadian waters, these officers follow the ship along well‑marked points on nautical charts to determine its position, and so on.
There is always room for greater co‑operation between Transport Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard in these activities. We always work together.
